I firmly believe that - those [GDC] committee members I have met, even briefly, certainly have a passion for what they are doing and want to give teams and students the best possible experiences. - GaryVoshol [more]

If you get pushed from the side while in x mode, then because the contact patch with the floor (ideally) is a line or thin rectangle, the pusher will torque the wheel sideways a bit like a caster. It seems like it would take a ton of force to shove those wheels back into a straight position, but it is doable. I'm sure that the robot will lift before that though.
