I have to very strongly recommend against swerve if you aren't confident in your ability to build a tank drive. There are going to be years (like this year) where swerve just isn't a practical option for everybody that isn't team 16.* There are also going to be other years where swerve would technically work, but doesn't fit your strategy well and so you would be better off putting the resources elsewhere. But as long as the kitbot is a tank drive, FIRST is never going to design a game where you need an omni-directional drivetrain to be competitive.

* I think there were a couple of other robots that ran swerve. I'm not sure if any of them saw much success with it, though.
