Unsure, but I think you're on the right track. We're fairly certain which students will drive the robot, so it'll be whatever they're comfortable with. Our most likely candidate is very comfortable with traditional tank controls (and is very good with them), so we'd want to stick with that and create a natural strafe input. Notionally we could implement the x-axis on one or both joysticks with a very large (> 0.33) deadband for strafe detection. When strafing it would ignore the y-axis input.
