We did swerve last year (our rookie year) and it worked pretty well (I thought coming onto the team this past October & seeing it in action at Cow Town), but my team also said otherwise. I would suggest that you make this an off-season project as it requires so much time (which is what we did before our rookie build season).
From a drivers perspective, our Driver said that he could have probably utilized swerve better if he had more practice time (and we didn't have to under go a second build season). Sure swerve is pretty cool (we saw a lot of people stopping by to see our module at regionals), but it also is kinda overkill depending on what you need to do.
If you have any questions, leave them in our thread and our mentor will get back to you.

Good luck to all who try Swerve!
