It looks like you are using Polar not Cartesian style Mecanum. You need to supply a direction (calculate using 2 axis) , not an axis for the direction parameter. Are you doing that?

I would recommend for debuging using MecanumDrive_Cartesian() so you can just plug in an axis to each parameter. Just drive it forward and reverse to test the jags. Sorry if anything is misspelled, I am typing on my mobile without consulting docs
