this year was our first time of swerve, that said it saved our robot, it defenetly has its benifits, and if you where just given both drives on the feild without the need to make or program them, swerve will usually win over machanum. but there are businesses that sell machanum (get them from andymark), but there are none that sell full swerve drives, even though you could buy the lower end of the andymark crab drive, so it will come to desighn, if you biuld a good working swerve, it will beat mach, but if your swerve isn't well made, like how our encoders would slip on our's (locktite fixed that) it will not even move. i would recommend adding a third option of a dual drive/octanum, for a well made swerve will nearly always win a machanum.
