Re: Is there a dominant design style?

For our team, definitely. Versaplanetaries are really good, and probably dropped out weight 10+lbs in 2014 and 2015, WCP and Vex gearboxes drop our weight more compared to our old AM shifters.
CD has helped our team learn a lot more about mechanical design.
As far as swerve drive and versaframe go, I haven't seen many teams use either, excepting this year. But the Swerve And Steer might remain popular next year, as so many teams used it this year that it's easy to re-use.
