Thanks for the link. It helps a little, but i still am confused. Can i use the axis 3 controller instead of having my arcade drive work at .8 and -.8? Like is it possible to have it so when the axis 3 controller is down all the way, the robot moves at lets say .2, halfway .5 and full be .8? Can this be done?
