Hey M.

Looks interesting! I actually haven't seen that type of drive-switching mechanism before, we (639) implemented a vaguely similar idea for 2002. I'm kind of confused exactly what it's intention is, maybe you can elaborate for my slow mind? For example, why are there two omniwheels? This would result in a robot with 4 omnis touching ground right? I'm also curious why the rollers of the wheels are slightly staggered. So yea, I'm just interested to hear a summary of what it does

Hope you're enjoying Seattle!
