You can check out the first version of the intake on our
CAD download page, we just posted it.
We orignially switched to the vex EDR mecanums because we needed the weight for the hanger, it ended up being somewhere around a pound or so lighter. The EDRs were a bit grippier; I didn't notice much of a difference in intaking performance between SVR and Champs, we didn't change our intake speeds. We also switched the drive wheels for weight purposes. We had a few issues with the drive wheels rubbing on our bellypan due to dents in the aluminum from the defenses, but we were also having some of those same problems with the first drive wheels.
