Okay, I said octicanum-like because it still involves the ability to "switch" drive trains. Basically, you have six modules with traction and omnis. Then you have a center omni hard mounted to the center in the normal H-drive way. When you "switch" to traction, the wheel in the center gets raised off the ground. When you "switch" back to omni, the traction wheels go back up and the center wheel gets lowered back down to the ground. Did I better your understanding of it?
