The reason i had this idea is because ive seen a nearly identical vex EDR swerve
But if you were to change the shape of the module and put the CIM in a different spot (like making it more of a corner module) and arrange the CIM, steering, and wheel shafts in a L configuration, you might be able to make it work. Also it might package better and smaller. Just a thought. This thing is awesome!
