We can discuss the physics which apply to a moving robot once we can agree on the (simpler) physics of a stationary robot whose wheels are not slipping.

When a mecanum-wheeled robot is pushing against a brick wall (or any other immobile object) in the forward direction with insufficient torque on its wheels to cause the wheels themselves to turn, then neither are the rollers turning

If the robot is pushing against a brick wall, and the wheels are not turning, then the rollers will not be spinning. Everything looks static. Try it.
