If you did get to "just sit around playing with robots", IFI would be receiving hundreds of resumes a day from FIRST alumi, mentors, and engineers (mine included probably).
That is a pretty impressive mechanism. It looks like it works well. My only comment would be that this begs for some sort of 90 deg gear transfer. When I watch the video I get a little concerned about the motors on the swerve drive when they swing outside the dimensions of the body. If they could be mounted above and transfer rotation through a bevel gear or something.
