Re: Introducing Revolution Pro...crab/swerve module

My observation was more based on the large amount of optimizations that appear in my posted designs. Not on completely brand new ideas that have never been seen before.
1. It uses a small diameter solid treaded wheel.
2. The wheel is off set slightly to one side so it can be nested by the miter gear.
3. It utilizes straight cut gears instead of a chain to transfer power to the wheel.
4. It uses a dead axle to keep side plates light weight.
5. The wheel axle is a hallow stand off to increase the strength of the module and make replacing the wheel easy.

The platform in their video is the same way.
1. It uses a single extrusion upper frame.
2. It's CIM motor is behind the steering motor, in an in-line configuration.
3. CIM chain runs around the steering shafts to get to the main double shaft.

I'm not accusing them of stealing my ideas, or even taking inspiration from my designs. But if they did get some inspiration, it would be nice to get some recognition, and if they didn't, I want to point out that our designs are very similar.
