the reason for doing so is explained in the post.

your thoughts?

The change is two fold... multiply by sqrt(2) and then normalize. I believe you'll find that the end result is the same.

Can you just commit the RobotDrive changes to FIRSTForge? We would be happy to help test. :)

Not sure when the update will be released. I believe the goal is to release the updates for all languages together. If you want to test it, I'll just post the files here.
