Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understood you locked your swerve modules in place and skidded in elims at WPI.
I did the math last year about swerve percentages, but there have been 4 teams to win the championships with a swerve. (111 twice). In total 42 teams have won nationals. That's 9 percent to win with swerve. People often question "more teams compete with drivetrains other than swerve, so the odds are swerve won't win as much" but in reality, the best teams win, or at least really good teams do. If swerve teams consistently dominated skid teams, it would reflect in the stats, and they don't reflect that.
I'm not saying swerve is bad, I'm just suggesting that the advantages it appears it have on paper aren't quite the same as on the field.
