I remember accomplishing this on our robot, but it was a very tough maneuver.
Without a gyro on there, it'd take some skill. With a gyro it's a trivial maneuver. You shift the coordinate inputs by the gyro's angle, it's known as "field-centric" drive. We don't plan to have the robot that way all match, just when the driver wants to spring down the field while doing high magnitude rotation.
