Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been reading that the default mecanum code in the WPI library actually takes the incorrect inputs by default. I'm not sure if thats true for everyone, but it was only with that advice I recieved on this forum concerning possible incorrect code that we were able to get mecanum working. And this was after countless tests, wire swaps, and inversions.
