You can read the full article here on page 23.
I had dinner with a bunch of 118's mentors after the sac regional. They mentioned that some of the work they did at NASA was actually inspired by things they had tried out in FRC previously, namely swerve drive. Apparently 118's work on their swerve contributed to it's current popularity on NASA vehicles today.
