While this may be good advice a good chunk of the time I feel as it may be a little bit of blanket statement. Although I'm sure you had no mal intent.
I have seen very capable rookie teams that would be able to handle making a swerve or holonomic and I've seen many many many veterans who would not be able to pull one off.
Judge your teams capabilities...if a task looks daunting, it probably is...if you think your team may be able to pull it off, go for it. FIRST isn't about winning, its about learning. Go for the design that will knock peoples socks off...who cares if you dont get 2 weeks to drive it around before competition. Thats just my honest opinion.
