You can modify RobotDrive.java in NetBeans, open wpilibj as a project, edit the file (back up or comment out the original code), and build the project as normal. (Don't make it your main project when opening)
Ah, thank you! I will try this next time we work on it. Why wouldn't scaling the Y value be enough?

Edit: Nevermind, I just realized. The X and twist axes are definitely going to need to be scaled as well. Thanks for saving me from grief later on
