This is how I usually think of it.

Anyways, is there a reason you are using belts and not gears for this? Is it for a more quiet operation?

Are the wheels of different material? Is one grippy for more traction but one slippery for ease of turning? Maybe this isn't a swerve, but a fixed unit and you have the slippery wheels to ease turning a 4-wheel long bot. But I doubt its as simple as this
