1) At this point, other than pushing, not really.
2) There is no real storage on the top of the bot. I think you're refering to the section of the video that has the ball on top of the robot. That was just the small arm holding it there.

The crab (swerve) modules are almost identical to last year's. The drill motors drive and the globe motor steers. Sorry, I don't really have a good picture of one.
