I remember getting told by one of our major build students back in 2010 to go take a look at yours at CowTown. The three wheel swerve was pretty sick. I've read all I can out of the Behind the Design on there, and we're looking into designing a swerve over the summer this year. We're taking heavy influence from both you and the 3928 swerve module released this year. Using the CIM itself as a "hub" is pretty darned ingenious.
