Ah, gotcha. While I can see how that design will make it so that only one of the two wheels is on the ground when turning, did you guys have a mechanism in place to balance the module when the motor wasn't turning (some sort of spring return, maybe?), or was that not necessary to keep both wheels off the ground?
I also see that your design from this year used a single CIM motor on the slide - what lateral speed were you guys capable of with that?
