But it also depends on your design plans for the game, I know a team that did swerve last year, and could've done it this year, decided to go with a design that worked for them but was heavy so they decided not to use it. Everything is custom to your team in a sense, what works for our team, may not work for another.
Yep Breakaway won twice without swerve this year opposed to not winning with it last year
