Swerve, spiced up!

I was wondering if any team has tried spicing swerve up by using supershifters/ball shifters, etc. How heavy would it be and would there be any advantage in using this technology? Also, I'm wondering if your team uses shifters to:
-increase torque on demand
-increase the top speed without adding more motors
-allow the robot to move quickly on the field while being able to push around other robots
-all of the above


Just for the sake of a Christmas teaser, has any team succeeded in making a very high-scoring two-wheeled robot? I'd love to see some pictures, or even videos of it. That's what I call, an honor to Mr. Kamen
