Built 4 Swerves, they are missing their magnetic encoders as we do not have the CANCoders at this point. They are also missing the grease on the gears and the screws mounting the Krakens do not have Locktite. The extra parts, bottom mounting plate, and encoder securing hardware are still in the box because we can't put them on just yet. We have 10 new SDS MK4n swerve modules using Kraken x60's as the driving and steering motors. We intend to use 4 swerve modules for a Alpha bot, and 4 for the final robot, leaving 2 extra. We are leaving the built swerve modules on the drive base shelf in the shop closet.

1/7/2025 We built 2 more swerves today, we moved the 4 new CANcoders onto the Drivebase shelf. The current status of all six of our assembled swerve modules is: They need the CANcoder magnet Loctited in place, they need the CANcoders mounted along with their protective covers, the gears need to be greased, and the motors need to be Loctited once their position is solidified (7 bolts). We have 4 more modules left to assemble.
