Correct - and I guess that would be a question for the driver and operator of 1675's robot, why didn't they translate away? It certainly was possible at that point, but it may have been just a heat of the moment kind of thing. It could also have something to do with they way their controls are set up. I've seen teams using two joysticks with a mecanum drive system, which seems counter-intuitive to me.
