3 axis style mecanum/crab is a mistake waiting to happen... when you try to translate left or right, you often rotate yourself as well...

some teams use tank-style controls where to strafe, you have to move both sticks left or right... never made sense to me... I am bad enough at tank controls, let alone that kind of horror.
