Yup, seen this one before.
Mecanum drives fascinate me, so when I see a mecanum team that doesn't go sideways, I'll try and make time to go ask the team why they aren't going sideways. The most common answers are:
1. We just wanted to use Mecanum wheels. We didn't know they needed special programming.
2. The robot moves much faster in tank mode.
3. The robot wouldn't drive straight with mecanum mode.
