If you think of ANY possible controversy over a strategy you want to use, look it up in the manual and be positive it is in compliance with all the rules.
Also, rules from past years games, or other sports dont apply. Dont assume things are the same as last year.

That's all fine and dandy except for the fact that different people interpret rules differently. Finding out other peoples' interpretations can help people to make more informed design decisions before the Q&A starts. Reading the rule book can only get you so far.
And on a note pertaining to the actual thread....
I think (haha) that a crab drive has its advantages and disadvantages in any situation. In this years game, however,
I think that the difficulty in controlling is already going to be such that it discourages a crab or swerve drive. Granted, we haven't leaned towards crab drive in the past, but this year while brainstorming we didn't even consider it. I'm sure some team out there will pull it off, but it'll take a pretty skilled drive team. I do encourage you to try however; that team might be yours.
