Another motor rotates the rear swerve modules. It seems as if the modules can be turned more than 360°, as the CIMs driving the wheels are located on the center of the drive train, and connect to the modules using a sprocket and chain.

It seem very similar to your design.
221's module design was one of the things we looked at while designing ours.
