Re: Mecanum control scheme suggestions?

You want to be able to translate and rotate simultaneously to "orbit" things.
Is "orbiting" like pivoting around a point? Similar to this video at 0:29?

The person who was suggesting the second control layout says we shouldn't ever have a need to rotate & strafe simultaneously.

However, I believe having 2 joysticks is worth the slight increase in complexity, as it allows for greater maneuverability (which is why we chose mecanum in the first place!)
