This is what I'm trying to avoid, I want to be able to make an infinite number of turns, and not have to worry about the wires. I think that by having stationary rings, and in turn, stationary wires, this will prove to be far superior.

I have looked into 118 swerve drive units, but I like larger wheels, and the dual chain drive just seems unattractive to me.
