Swerve Drive

After going to the FRC (First Robotics Competition) Championships, I got to see a few other successful robot designs and the drive trains that teams used.  One of these was the swerve drive, which I thought was particularly interesting because of the maneuverability that it provided.  Today I attempted to build my own swerve drive out of LEGO.  After some experimenting, I got it to work, and I fine tuned it to make it more effective.  
Here is a clip of the robot driving around.  (I'm still working on driving it well)
