Seriously, the team that posted this has 70+ members, a couple of good years under their belt, and this still happened to them. Don't do swerve if you haven't already prototyped it over the pre-season. I don't really care how big your team is or how much FRC experience you have. Just don't do it.
We (1736) had a similar situation in 2012. I wasn't on the team but we ended up locking the swerve modules in place on the Thursday of the regional and driving it tank style.
