You are correct in saying the robot would only go forward/backward or strafe, but no combination. This solved our unwanted rotation problem.

I'm glad you found a solution that worked. In the heat of battle or in a time crunch, you've got to go with what works.
But now that you're in the off-season, you might want to go back and ask why you were getting the unwanted rotation. It seems odd that you could strafe with no rotation, and you could go forward/reverse with no rotation, but you could not go diagonally without rotating. Could you tell us a bit about how you programmed the wheel speeds?
