Bravo!

Not to take anything away from the Robonauts, who clearly have a great design, but it seems like the decision to do what 148 did was simply out of necessity.
If you want to go 20 fps you need 6 motors.
If you need 6 motors and want to use a crab drive, you have to do coaxial crab.
If you want to save weight/complexity, you use 3 wheels.
If you use 3 wheels, you have to use all 6 motors in one gearbox.
I think both are each very much their own designs.
