Re: pic: GBX-114, Ultralight shifting swerve drive

11fps is a bit fast for a low gear - you're likely going to run into breaker problems if you get into a pushing match with that if your robot is at the weight limit.

Not sure what I think about pulley setup here. Having multiple belts off of the same CIM is going to make tensioning a bit of a headache if you can only adjust the tension at the CIM. It also looks like you're really not getting much wrap on one of those pulleys - I'd be worried about that, especially with 9mm belts.
