The Swerve list:
16
368
1717
2067
2481
2517
2936

I might be missing a few teams...
Add 4143 to the list. They were in the finals at Central Illinois. I'm fairly certain 2506 belongs on the list too. They made it to the semi-finals at Midwest.

I am interested in how many swerve users this year are 1) 4 wheel independent or not
Ours is 4 wheel independent

We do not use field-centric

We use 4 PID's for steering

This is just a small sample size of what's out there, so I would venture to guess there's something in the ball park of 50-100 teams (~2%-3.5%) with swerve this year. 200 at best (~7%).
