Two of your motors should be inverted (in code, or by switching the pos and ground). This is because the motors on one side will spin in the oposite direction on one side of the bot when they are given the same signal.

Are you Using C++, Java, or LabView?
They are making the X on top.

I'm pretty sure they're properly inverted because forward and rotation worked, just not strafe. I figure that since we'd be using the RobotDrive class (I thought it went without saying due to the forum I'm in, we're using C++) it was naturally set up for the inverted motors and did it automatically.
