They then have multiple (maybe just one?) other modes they toggle into for strafing variants.
16 could explain better, but I think I got the jist of it. I feel video of their 2012 bot shows this pretty well.

Well said.
We have toyed with other driving/aiming modes, but they are just variants of those two basic functions.
