Another cool linkage system that I've only ever seen used once: 1565's linkage drivetrain from 2008: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvN4K2ieR5g
DING DING DING, I think we have a winner. I have never seen that video before or any video of 1565's 2008 robot and I say that takes the prize. That is actually very innovative. Not to sound demeaning to the team, as I am giving them tons of praise, this seems like a poor-man's swerve; all be it it is only bi-directional, it still works on the same concept. I wonder if you could use mechanum wheels in the same setup.
