It's a variation of Aren's swerve, but shifting. Plus, they released the CAD for it.
I've seen both in person and personally prefer 1717s, it's lighter, more compact and has a longer track record of success. Also it seems easier to machine the wheels and to change the tread but I don't know that for sure. I wish the 1640 wiki had pics from their more recent iterations, they've made some nice improvements since 2012.
