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.

You forgot a pretty major team that has used swerve quite a few times since their latest World Championship (my gut says every year). Though they haven't been quite the BEAST they have been in the past they still beatty out most teams for always managing to find a way to win. I speak of course of Team Hammond for those of you who hadn't figured it out.
Also, 469 used swerve for a couple years (07/08) with reasonable success.
