Am I the only one who thinks both the new module and the new platform they built are disturbingly similar to designs I've posted here within the last year?!

I suppose I should be flattered that this is the second time someone used the general concepts from the designs I posted online. My intention in posting them, was that some might get inspiration or use the designs, but I didn't expect a company to start selling a design that is almost identical to the designs I developed...

Can you specifically point out one design idea that is present in your design, the revolution swerve design, and no other previous swerve design?

The original revolution swerve (image) was based off of team 118's swerve and came out in 2009. Besides for switching to smaller wheels, using vex pro bevel gears, replacing the chain drive with gears, this shares all of its design ideas with the previous revolution swerve module.
