I find it hilarious that one of your examples of a "mechanism that lends itself to a swerve drive" was on one of the only Wildstang robots that didn't have one...

Rather than believe that to be possible, my theory is that Raul just wanted to make his programmers parallel park on a vision tetra in autonomous mode to pick it up, then parallel park on a goal to score it.
