I'm trying to figure out what it's missing that makes it not as mobile as a swerve. It can rotate at any time by applying different speeds to the left and right sides, and it can move in any direction at any time by varying the forward/backward and left/right drive motors. Rotating while traveling in a straight line is difficult, but only because it takes a lot of coordination, not because physics keeps it from being possible.
