I know... The Beast has been crab drive every year that I can recall since 2005. This makes them one of the few top tier teams to have repeatedly used crab. The only ones I can think of other than them are 16, 111, and 1625. Many other top tier teams have experimented with crab and went back to other systems, these included (this isn't definitive, it is only what I can remember off the top of my head)

47 - 1998, 2000 - 0 Championships(to my knowledge they were the first crab in FRC)
67 - 2005 - 3 Championships (2005, 2009, 2010)
217 - 2002, 2003 - 2 Championships (2006,2008)
1114 - 2004 - 1 Championship (2008)
148 - 2008 - 2 Championships (2008 and 1993)
33 - 2005 (switched to 6wd halfway through the year), 2009 - 0 Championships
234 - 2010 - 0 Championships
469 - 2007, 2008 - 1 Championship (2003)
118 - 2005 - 2008 - 0 Championships

Just some extra data for the argument that simplicity is key. Every single one of these teams has since gone back to the tank style drive (6/8wd for most of them)
