Just because it's so late, and I'm still awake(but barely conscious), I feel I must comment on it.

I notices one pair of the mecanums shown there are backwards. It appears as though the distant 2 should be swapped to form an X pattern, or the near 2 to for the diamond pattern, I can never remember which is right.
