I'd love to build a swerve drive. I agree it's the best technology. But, we can't afford a Cadillac.
The prototype we've built works reasonably well given the relative simplicity vs. the swerve design. We tested the prototype with 4" regular wheels and the reduction in power (tank mode, forward) wasn't too bad. Our thinking is to make the drive system very doable for the team and allow more time/resources for the game functions.
I'm bugging my son to make a video of the Mecanum teleop to post. The kids are able to control the thing with amazing agility. I guess the years of video gamming is good for something.
