I think no one has challenged that claim because on paper, this robot is fully capable of translating and rotating at the same time. I'm sure video will surface shortly of it running.
Also, Mecanum and Holonomic/Killough drives, if programmed properly can translate and rotate at the same time. I've seen some FRC robots do it before (2008 comes to mind), but never in full circles (really no reason to, not to mention that it's really hard to keep a constant radius while doing so.)
