Yup, we did it halfway in between. This solution isn't perfect, as the wheels can't be at exactly the right angle. This caused some funky sliding issues before we wrote code to change the inner/outer wheel speeds. Our thought was that the simplicity that came from a linked swerve was worth this little inefficiency.
