WCD vs. Swerve

[Mk.32]

Having recently CADed and priced out both a WCD and a Swerve build. Our team is planning on building a WCD drive for it's final off season project.

The WCD is a lot simpler and cheaper compared to the swerve.
With a WCD you can probably get a drive base done within the first week of build season, with a swerve and even if you prototype it over off season it would probably take longer depending on how fast your machining turn around is. With a limited amount of abilities I would rather focus on building manipulators and testing them, then on drive.
