There's no argument against swerve being the most agile drive style, but the combination of acceleration and top-speed offered by a 2-spd+4cim drive is paralleled only by a 6cim drive, and that costs you two motors and a lot of current capacity when you're pushing hard.

Despite constant debate with myself I can't find a better 'bang for buck' than using a 2spd drivetrain. They're light, COTS that won't break the bank, proven, and generally available. Everything you'd want in a drivetrain.
