The MK4i module inverts the motors on an MK4 module to a lower position where they are out of the way and better protected. Overall height and center of gravity are therefore lower. The MK4i module also moves the wheel further into the corner of the chassis for a wider wheelbase which results in a more stable robot. Because the wheel is moved into an area the frame would typically occupy, the MK4i includes a secondary plate to properly box in the chassis.

Note: Molded plastic cases have begun shipping with all encoder orders!
The Thrifty Absolute Magnetic Encoder was designed to provide teams a lower cost option for absolute position sensing. Simply plug the included 3-wire PWM style cable into your controller of choice and read the included magnet's absolute position. This device can connect directly to the RoboRIO as well as the REV Spark Max or CTRE Talon SRX.
Encoder Revision Updates Include -
With custom hubs, this offering from SDS has competition-tested performance combined with seamless integration into the MK4 and MK4i Swerve Modules.
Colson Performa Wheels have been used extensively in BattleBots and FIRST Robotics Competitions, and are widely lauded as an intelligent choice for swerve. The durable co-injection molded construction of a thermoplastic elastomer tread permanently bonded to a polyolefin core helps ensure the wheel can withstand the rigors of robot competitions while being friendlier to non-carpeted surfaces and providing a more consistent performance throughout the life of the wheel compared to roughtop tread.
The aluminum hub is secured to the bevel gear using three screws which captures the wheel. This setup provides a simplified replacement process for heavy use during competition season.

This is precut and drilled tread for the SDS MK4/4i Billet Wheel.
This kit contains the shafts and common spacers used in the MK4i swerve module. It also includes the Encoder Guard, but does not include the motor-specific spacers, which can be purchased as part of the motor pinion gear kits.
