Re: pic: vex coaxial swerve

This looks like a really good start to a coaxial swerve drive.

However, I may offer some advice. One the swerve modules, you may want to consider using angle, C-channel, or a wider plate instead of the single 1x steel bar. The 1x steel bar will most likely flex somewhat, and without any sort of threaded beams (or something similar) between them to lessen the impacts of the flex, it may cause binding issues on the axles.
