1678 went to Einstein with that drivetrain and pioneered the math and testing with 971. I'd hardly say they're an example of a typical FRC team.
Most teams shouldn't make this a priority. Putting, say, a week into a hexagonal drivetrain won't make your robot better than putting that same amount of time into the things you mount to your drivetrain.
You've gotta walk before you can run. If you're already running, build a hexagonal drivetrain.
