*I've never played Halo (so my knowledge of it is second-hand) but had been led to believe that the use of "Halo" in FRC context referring to driver interface was related to strafing.
As I understand the Halo controls (not having played it), one stick is motion and the other is rotation. In an FRC application, it would work better on a mecanum or swerve. The other similar type is a throttle stick/steering wheel setup.
