Re: Team 1658 prototype flying inverse differential(gyro-encabulator) bi-swerve

That's really cool! I love the engineering and fabrication that went into this. The only thing I would suggest is to consider a way to lock your differentials if necessary (either with a limited-slip design, or a pneumatic clutch). Right now, if your robot loses traction on any corner (going over a field obstacle, or being lifted in defense), the unloaded wheel will spin freely, sapping all power from that side of the bot. (unless I'm misunderstanding the design)
