It was just there for the build season to help with teaching the freshmen driver on how to drive the robot and what not. It will be removed from the competition code.

Tonight we are going to gear down the drive somewhat and go from there. I also found out the controller does seem to send a slight x value so i'm working on something to fix this now. Thanks guys.
