Simple rules the day. Always.

Although, I do not disagree with your general premise of simple wins, there has been a swerve in the finals of Einstein each of the past three years and two of them have been on the winning alliance. Having said that, that means that 3/36 teams on Einstein the past three years have had swerve drive and 2/9 of the Champs winners, simpler drive systems still far outnumber the more complex ones.
148 had a swerve last year although it wasn't the same as what teams typically think of as crab. 71 made it to the Einstein finals in 2007, although they did not win.
