I'd have to agree with lcoreyl here. Your diagram appears to be saying that the right-side wheels are being driven away from each other, and the left-side wheels are being driven toward each other for strafe right. If that's what you meant, it's not correct: that would be the wheel directions for strafe left.

But that's not what's causing your problem. You said in the OP that the robot doesn't move at all when it's on the ground and using ControlMode.Speed. I would recommend checking the status frames to see what the encoders are doing.
