Starting at ~2:30.

I had the pleasure of watching their driver pull moves with their mecanum drive I've never seen any other team do at the MSHSL Championships last weekend.

I can't speak for any of their code or their physical setup, but their driver really knows how to make that mecanum drive sing.

Also, my statement was more along the lines of "swerve is easy if you do it right." I would know how difficult it is when you do it wrong. We did it wrong in 2011 and couldn't move for our first regional.
