This drive gets my vote for coolest drive of the 2012 season, blew my mind when I saw it on here.
Hopefully another Neutrino can pipe in with more accurate answers (I've been away while Uni was out of session), but most driver practice has come from demos and the like, not too much in the way of drills. We're planning on going to Cow-Town, so driver practice should be in the plans for preparation, but nothing to the extent that you might be thinking/hoping.

Nothing can be for-sure until the game comes out, but I think we're going to try going much simpler with our drive so we can put more effort/time (and money!) into other aspects.

And thank you! Two of our students devoted their entire build season to creating it, so I'll make sure they get the praise

Looking forward to seeing this beauty up close at Cow-Town. After our new members see Bombsquad in action and then look at your modules I'm sure they'll be asking why we haven't done swerve since 2010. I hope they give you a great pit location to account for all the visitors we'll be sending over.

Why did I not realize this until now?? Cowtown is not, by any means, coming soon enough now.
