What we really needed were the opposite wheels, top left & bottom right, to be moving in the same direction. So when we figured that out all we did was switch the pwms in labview and now it strafes beautifully!
Just curious, did you have the wheels incorrectly selected in the code? (For example, Front right and Back right were swapped in the code)
