We won't be doing swerve, as fun as it would be. I can guarantee (off assumptions) that 1717 will be doing swerve though because they're crazy and dance like penguins.

A 6 CIM-6 wheel drive with a ball shifter in low gear will out push a swerve. If the Pro's of a swerve drive outweigh the difficulty of making one, then a swerve drive, in my opinion, is a very good choice.

All things equal (motors, rollout ratio, tread, weight, etc...) swerve and 6wd are the same in pushing power.
A great mentor guides without giving the answers, teaches through discovery, demonstrates without lecturing, provides support from backstage, observes without hovering, and leads by example. - dlavery [more]
