I don't know what change you made, but it didn't swap the suggested motor commands. The behavior described above is not consistent with the change suggested.

Swapping the FL&BR motor commands should have had no impact at all on the strafe command. And it should have corrected the rotate behavior.

This is assuming that you have provided accurate test data about wheel direction in response to fwd/rev and strafe left/right as shown in the attached chart.

Would you please post the before and after code as a LabVIEW PNG snippet as an attachment here on CD.
