Tank Drive VS Arcade Drive on a Skid-Steer Platform

I don't know how you can blame a robot getting stuck in the goal on the GDC. The field drawings showed all of the dimensions of the goals. If a team doesn't want to risk getting stuck then they need to plan around it. - JamesBrown [more]

Tank Drive VS Arcade Drive on a Skid-Steer Platform

So I am wondering what drive styles everyone was using this year with a skid-steer or fishtail drivetrain. I have generally found tank to be better for maneuverability while arcade provides long smooth arcs for long open fields.

What did you use and why?

Edit: I am thinking of all of this in the sense of this year's game, Recycle Rush.
