The motors attached to the wheels were what drove the wheels. The motors attached with chain adjusted the direction in which we moved.

Yes, we had a 3-wheel swerve/crab drive. We started upright and fell over, like we did in the 2004 season.
Our website was just updated. There are probably more pictures of the wheel assembly and I know there's video on there that show the swerve drive in action.
