One example of the right way to use the inconsistent turning axis is when they come from picking up a tube in the feeder station. They transverse the whole field backwards and then right before they get to the racks, they brake, shifting their turning axis and causing them to use the turning axis closer to the racks, allowing them to turn and immediately score instead of having to turn and then drive closer to the racks.
Very interesting observation. I'm stoked to see what you guys come up with for 2013 btw.
