I don't care for that nomenclature either; I was using it because that's the way the questioner (3786KRRobotics) worded it.
I hope the following is clearer for you:
vehicle forward:
- both left wheels rotating CCW (when viewed from left side of vehicle)
- both right wheels rotating CW (when viewed from right side of vehicle)
vehicle strafe right:
- front wheels turning CCW (when viewed from their respective sides)
- back wheels turning CW (when viewed from their respective sides)
vehicle rotate CW (as viewed from above):
- all 4 wheels rotating CCW (when viewed from their respective sides Vehicle backward, strafe left, and rotate CCW: each wheel turning the opposite direction of the forward, strafe right, and rotate CW cases, respectively.
