I thought the same thing. The spacing of the CIM is more of a "Nice to have" than anything else, so we're not trying to make our designs revolve around that idea. However, it is an interesting challenge, so we're trying to make this gearbox meet as much of the requirements as possible.
I'm looking into bevel gears right now. Fortunately, I do have some experience with these (as 1126 ran swerve this past season, using bevel gears in the module).
