Swerve does everything mech can do and with better traction. The only tradeoff I can see is swerve is more complex. Too complex? You decide.
Yeah, that's basically the same thing that happened to us. Personally, I don't think it's that much more of a complex system. I also think it's more manueverable because you can do more, programming wise, with it. But it also takes more practice (arguably) to learn to drive it. I agree that it's a tradeoff.
