Just feels more natural. That is, if it's field centric.

If it's robot centric, then I guess you could just think of it as a tank drive, with an x axis strafing capability when you want it.

The driver practice on our team is pretty minimal, but sometimes we set up some cones and slalom through them for practice.
I really admired your swerve drive this year, as a driver every time I go up against you I think defense might be difficult on this one.

For me nothing will ever be better then a traditional tank drive. love the power, and with the correct wheel combination the maneuverability too. if your having a lot of trouble with handling the swerve you can always forget about the x axis and use it as a tank drive
