Open each drive motor separately. Pass the motors' RefNums into an Open 4 Motor Drive function that's been set to the "existing motor" variant. Pass the rear motors's RefNums into a similar Open 2 Motor Drive function. Now you can choose to invoke the Arcade Drive function of either the 4-motor or the 2-motor Drive set. You'll have to disable the safety on the one you're not actively controlling.


I'm curious -- why do you want to do this?
Yeah I was think something along the lines of your third idea. We would like to do this to give our robot a better fine turning ability for aiming.
