The 7.5% of teams doing swerve, perhaps? Mecanum certainly has flaws, but its failure modes are generally more benign than a swerve's.

Personally, I'm not concerned by any results of this poll... looks reasonably good. ~70% tank, ~30% omni-directional, with a good mixture of types to fit various teams' resources, strategies, and preferences.
