Can you elaborate on this? Why would a butterfly drive be inherently looked upon as a bad thing? Obviously a swerve drive will be looked upon as a good thing, if the team can drive it well, which will be included in the scouting information.

Also, given the feedback in this thread I decided to CAD a decadrive/Butterslide drive which can be found here.
