Really good looking robot. Are you planning on adding an active intake? Is that a two-swerve two-normal drive?
I believe it's a variation on a Watt's linkage. We are considering a few options for an active intake. And yes, two-swerve, two normal drive. We've tried making our own full swerve drive in the past with limited success, so we just stuck with the half-swerve this year. Our drivers really like it.
