For Swerve:

16 wasn't the only team who had swerve yes they can do some of the best swerve but they weren't the only team who did swerve this year.

I wouldnt give credit to one team for similar mechanisms. multiple teams had similar systems.
A compilation of the best implementations of the best designs is pretty cool and useful. Maybe a little more emphasis should be put on the fact that it's not a new idea, but highlighting whoever did it best this year isn't necessarily a bad thing.

We referenced the 2007 FRC Design book (I can't remember it's actual name) a few times for the 2011 season. I'm sure not all of the designs in there were original, but it's a lot more helpful than leaving out designs because they've been used before.
