You need keen eyes to watch a Robowranglers video.

It looks more like each of four wheel pods are actuated individually by a pneumatic cylinder. See this picture, which I assume to be a Nonadrive practice chassis that was figured out sometime before build season.



Also, I scanned this years video for small hidden photos of 1114 or 217 to no avail. The build pictures do show how many crazy prototypes went into this design.
