are you sure about this? when a mecanum moves 'forward' or 'backward' (relative to its wheels) the rollers don't spin, so the mecanum unit functions as a normal wheel would. i assumed that since the rollers were at 45*, when the robot "crabbed" left or right, it would exhibit the same charecteristics.
