No, they aren't.

111. 1 National Championship on swerve drive. Uses it fairly often when the game calls for it.
118. 2-3 years with what was then one of the ultimate swerve drives.
67. 1 World Championship on swerve drive.
148. See 67.
1717. Consistently uses swerve.

973 developed a Unicorn drive (Emperor Swerve) this offseason that could rival some of these others. They have yet to use it in the regular season.

16 is NOT the only team that has come close to perfecting swerve, or that consistently uses it. While they do consistently use a very good one, saying that they are the only one displays ignorance. Continuing to say that they are the only one after other teams in the same category have been brought to one's attention displays willful ignorance.

Use of swerve without proper engineering analysis to determine that it is the best option, or close to it, is a very risky proposition at best, and a waste of resources at worst.
