Given this team's history (and programming mentors), I am guessing that this is their driving arrangement ("Cheesy Drive"):

1. A wheel (you can also use the X axis of a joystick) for turning
2. A throttle
3. A quick turn button

When you are not holding down the quick turn button, the wheel and throttle let you control the bot like a car (in other words, constant radius turns independent of your throttle power, which is hard to do with arcade or tank setups).

When you hold down quick turn, you can turn in place (the wheel becomes like a standard X axis in an arcade drive).

But again, just a guess
