One of the few pictures in CD-Media that has a reasonably clean shot of their drivetrain:

But the better shot is

Fun fact: of the 5 swerve drives on Einstein, only 2 were standard 4WD swerves (71 and 111). 2 were 3WD (67, 16), and one was a 6WD swerve (1625). 2 won the event (67, 111).
I don't remember a single swerve on Einstein in 2006.
