It doesn't even look like wildstang is "crabbing around" at all it this video...
Most crab bots also have a "tank" type mode to re-orient. To me it just looks like there "tank driving"
A crab drive might not even be the best idea for this game because if you are crabbing sideways you are pulling the trailer sideways as well and the wheels won't be straight... I realize that yes the floor is very slick but this could still drag the back end a bit and cause your bot to arc when driving sideways...
Just a thought
Also we had a tank drive prototype running around on the field surface with a fare amount of control...
