Swerve drives

With the majority of our team graduating this year(about 80%) a couple of us have been thinking about doing one last project in the off season as a team(if we can get the mentors to bite) to both leave something behind that the younger guys can improve on in the coming years to maybe get on a competition bot by the time the current freshman are seniors and to teach them all that we've learned from our experiences. The idea of a swerve drive was brought up but immediately shot down, but then brought up again with some ideas. Sense then we have done some drawings and Inventor projects(nothing worthy of posting here) and are thinking it may be possible. Because we aren't a very high budget team our design will differ greatly from things you'd see on Einstein now but actually don't look half bad modeled out in inventor. My question here is what are some of the most interesting swerves you've seen? Working/not working, on/off a competition not. Post pictures or videos as well.
Also as a side question. I wasn't able to do much pit scouting the past 2 years at Peachtree as I've been stuck in our pit, but I've always been fascinated by swerves and told our pit scouts that if anyone says they have a swerve to come get me immediately, and I've never been told of any. Have there been any teams here in Georgia to pull one off yet?
Thanks!
