Also 2012 bump? no problem
Popular belief was wrong, and there weren't many teams to challenge assumptions.

Even the belief that swerve drive done correctly is always better than mecanum drive done correctly is misguided. The teams that use swerve drive year in and year out effectively tend to have great organizations along with better than average resources. I'm not convinced these team's competitiveness entirely derives from their drive train. Likely they'd be just as successful with a 4/6/8 wheel tank drive, a mecanum drive train, or some other drive train.
