Looks great though, and it would be nice to see pics of the finished prototype.

The large gear is inaccurate I had to throw it on there to represent how the power is transferred but there will be another gear in between the cim and gear shaft. That way we can gear it down to a desirable ratio instead of being geared up like it is in the render. The gear ratios are traction 1:48, 1:20. Omni 1:20, 1:8.3 . Those ratios can change slightly but most of the components are from andymark supershifters. The entire modules weigh 8 lbs a piece and their will be 4 of them. So they will be similar weight to a swerve module which we used this year.
