Most teams attempting swerve will not be well-executed.

I would be surpised if something other than 6 wheel drives to be the majority of drive trains. And since most perennial powerhouses are vehemently opposed to purely holonomic drive trains (mecanum, kiwi, omni), that leaves tank and swerve, with a smidgen of butterfly.

I'm guessing > 75% of robots on Einsteins will have 6 wheel drive.
