Some of the pictures on the product webpage don't seem to match the main product picture or the PDF. ( http://www.team221.com/upload/king_crab_detail.jpg )They apparently use the older revolution swerve design at least for this pic. (and I doubt that the new design would even work on this platform because it's so much shorter, no height for a CIM)
Also the PDF shows the input as 3/8 keyed shaft while the product picture ( http://www.team221.com/upload/revolution_pro.JPG) has a hex input.
Uploading a CAD model would explain these discrepancies I'm sure.

Good observations. The image on the main page is of the original prototype. It had a 1/2" hex input on the vertical drive shaft. The production version sticks with the 3/8" keyed shaft.
The images of the complete robot are really just for reference. We just finished building it...it used a classic module. The new modules aren't quite ready.
I will post some step files soon.

Am I the only one who thinks both the new module and the new platform they built are disturbingly similar to designs I've posted here within the last year?!

Many posters in this thread have addressed your statements. Unfortunately I haven't seen your designs. I'm sure they are similar in many ways...as are most swerve derivations...but this is definitely a coincidence.
As for the platform design, I did my first one in 2010. I slowly modified and improved the design over the years. You can see our custom creations here.
