perhaps the worst part for ANY swerve is deciding how you want it to drive...

hence why I am more of a fan of mecanum than swerve for competition bots that strafe... if I am going to write a lot of code, I'd rather it be on my manipulator/camera tracking than on my drive code. that is, unless you pull a 148 and have crab and no manipulator (tumbleweed, 2008), which in that situation was nothing but epic...

for off season/fun, any swerve can be fun... or not fun... it depends on how you go about it.
