If I understand the purpose of this component, it would remove the limit to how many times a swerve with CIMs built into the modules could rotate, which is one of the major pitfalls of that design. Since a coaxial swerve design tends to eat up machining resources, I think the ability to make a simpler swerve to complement this is a significant benefit to a team like 2451. To my knowledge, they have one major machining sponsor (Genesis Automation), and the time it would take for them to make the components for a coaxial swerve seems like it would be better spent machining other things.
