Re: Reversing Drive Controls

While I haven't messed around with it myself, you might want to look into having your robot's front based on the field possession instead of the a button. To accomplish this you could base the front based on which way the robot is turned, which would only require a gyro. However if you want to stick with a button switch there shouldn't be any reason you cannot code another version of your drive controls with the values reversed in a way that powers everything backwards, and then assigning that command to as you said the Y button. Which language are your programming in?
