By going with an octanum drive it challenges us opposed to the past 3-4 years of a standard tank setup without having to do something overly complex.

Octocanum seems good too, but not as good as swerve. I like strafing for catching, and the defense is going to be trying to shove you when you are trying to catch. Octocanum can't strafe and have traction at the same time, but swerve can. But I still like Octocanum for this game for a team that can come up with one without sacrificing their ability to create a well-iterated set of scoring mechanisms.
