In Crab Mode, all wheels steer together and drive at a common speed thereby steering the robot in any direction on the 2-d playing surface (true 2-d drive). As described above, this mode does not allow overt control of chassis orientation.

all the wheels ALWAYS point in the same direction
allowing the robot to instantly head in any direction without turning, but ironically making it quite difficult to actually turn the robot! Sometimes you will see this referred to as a Crab (or Krab) drive, because of the way the crab like movement of the machine.
