Such a setup can only traverse along the X and Y axes. Any rotational motion is coincidental or caused by drift.

Ah I see what you mean. Right, I was assuming only those two axes of motion, and not any rotational movement while traversing in a certain direction. So you would need at least three motors for a full swerve. I was thinking along the lines of what Flimsor said.
