There is something objective to be said about rudder twist, and that is that it does not matter which way the robot is facing, clockwise is always clockwise... so it is almost as if they need not factor in orientation using the twist. Students have a difficult time driving when the robot is facing them on account of the controls being backwards.
I'd want to pursue a way to solve this, but I'd need a way to reliably know the current orientation to the driver... some kind of sensor for that. Rudder twist helps!
