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
I was thinking it would be easier in simpleRobot as well however since we use iterative for our robot code he wants me to make one that will work with iterative.
