Mecanum steering

Hello! Our team has been using tank drive for the last three years or so, but next year we'll hopefully be switching to Mecanum wheels. I was wondering if it is possible to program a robot so that one joystick controls forward/backward/strafeleft/straferight and another joystick controls rotation. I've looked at the classes provided (we're programming in C++), and I'm not sure what to think of them. I'm pretty sure we'll need to implement the gyro. Can this be done?
