While I agree, I'd venture this is the case for essentially all DTs. You don't need closed-loop to drive tank any more than you need absolute encoders for mecanum, but there's still a world of difference between the way, say, 11 drives tank and the way xxxx does. Or 25 for the former, to be more colloquial. (I just really like watching 11 this year)
And yes, somebody, please feed me video.
