He's trying to build an entire co-axial/crab swerve drive with only using two motors (powering the wheels and swerve mechanism with two motors). I can't give specific drawings, sorry, but I will vouch that it's possible. I made a single crab module (then I sort of gave up making the drivetrain altogether) with the 2003 edubot kit. The bevel gears were sort of tricky, I just mashed two gears together, lol, the module was sort of ugly looking too.

Or you could just have one single powered module and 2 or 3 omniwheels.
