One thing that my team has done in the past is to put a gyro on the robot. You can then use the gyro to make the robot easy to drive by make it move according to the driver's inputs, but in relation to the driver so that pushing the stick forward will always move the robot away from him or her. This makes it easier for the driver because he or she does not have to worry about robot orientation. I'll see if I can get more information about the implementation sometime today.
