very nice, i like the design, im assuming the bottom wheel is offset?, and do i spy geardrive?, my team was contemplating doing something similar, kudos to making it work
One thing that our mentors noted aboout this design and what in the end discuraged us from doing it is. That if one of your gears fails or binds then you loose all on your wheels. The only way to insure this doesn't happen is to design some fail safe into each gear.

At least with chain, if you chain each wheel indiviualy then if one chain breaks you still have the use of some of your wheels.

But still great work, We wil have to take a better look at the design, during the off season.
