I assume it has something to do with the math being done. If you pass a value >1 or <-1 i'm pretty sure the robot does nothing.

Also knowing whether or not iterative or simple robot are being used is helpful too. I prefer simple robot as I like to have control over initialization and my loops.

My interest has been peaked by approaching the arcade drive similar to a mecanum by using arc functions. however arc estimators will have to be coded up as only standard sin cos and tan are supported
