I'm interested in feedback about round(ish) robots with swerve drive. At this point it is quite hard to plow any truly new ground in FIRST, so I'm sure others have done this. Can someone with experience comment on how effective the combination is at avoiding pins in the first place and getting out of them in the second.

My impression playing with Rover is that it seems like a very effective strategy, especially with a continuous bumper covered in sailcloth.

But, I've been wrong before. I'd like to hear the voice of experience.

Do tell...
