We are looking at a three-wheeled drive. All three wheels would be powered and the rear single wheel would be steerable. I am trying to find something to help with the math to figure out the direction and speed of the single wheel based on the speeds of the other two wheels. Has anyone seen such a resource?

Not FRC code, but here's some NXC code. (https://github.com/Thaddeus-Maximus/OptiTracker/blob/master/NXC/TurretDrive.nxc)

It runs this. (http://ppi.ddns.net/blog/entry/optitrackfinish)

Only take that drive at face value. It was built last minute during week 5/6 of build. But it got the job done.
