pic: Short Swerve Module

In this picture, why did you opt to put the CIMs inward? I would think it would probably be more optimized with them along the outer walls, but I guess it would depend on attachments for piece manipulation. Maybe a staggered layout to put the CIMs side by side to gain room along a different dimension. (in this image, opt for a "wide bot" manipulator and turn the "front" two modules so the cims run along the "side" walls, freeing center space)



Sorry for the page reformatting lol

I did this so the wheels were at the outermost point of the robot, and Ironically the entire drive base is 17.9 x 22.25 x 4.6 in that picture. Keep in mind this entire system is also 4 inches tall, If I were to put anything on top of this I would do an over the bumper manipulation technique.
