[edit] that doesnt look like a planetary gearbox. See the pictures of 258's swerve modules from last year. Im betting it's the same concept.

Well... team 258's design was huge and heavy, like 20 pounds per module. Also, this design is different because the motor and the wheel are on the same axis, and the gear reduction is INSIDE the hollow wheel. This makes for a very compact design, and actually very robust. Let me post some more pics, since the design has changed a bit.
