Note that I didn't say it couldn't rotate while driving. I said it couldn't rotate while driving in a straight line (like a swerve, mec, or omni can do).

Of course it can turn while driving, but so can a drop-center 6WD skid steer.

and pivot an arbitrary point?
It can't pivot around either of the front wheels, for example. If you think it can, describe what you think the necessary speed of each of the four wheels would need to be to accomplish that.
