I would need to try some tests but even if I had the resources to build anything I'm pretty sure I would still go for the 6wd drive over a swerve simple cause the traction is so low a swerve could get excessively hard to control. Then again this isn't really a problem for me considering I'm mentoring a team with very little machining capabilities.

Center drop wheels arent the answer this year since because you have the wieght of the trailer attached to you then your always going to be on the back four wheels.
