No... I don't think so Alan...I mean all the posts I've read that you've put up are spot on and I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong if you've actually tried it. I have a bot in my garage and I'm pretty sure the mechanums do turn that way. It's actually a 4 wheeld mechanum so I can't address the two traction wheeled in the back but the front are the wheels in question.
Perhaps you mean the loss of torque from the configuration itself, and that's absolutely right, but that's the nature of mechanums.
I still think swapping them will solve the rotational problem and still allow forward, backwards and strafe.
