That is quite an optimistic statement; without even knowing next years game!

I think we should just drop the topic of releasing the CAD or not, because all the more we talk about it, all the more they are going to feel pressured into it. Rather than emulating their swerve, study all the swerves and use 1717's swerve as a baseline for the performance you want out of yours. You're never going to beat them in a driving fight if you're using the swerve that they designed and practiced with. You need something that would out perform theirs.
