Re: Swerve Drive Control

Well, regardless of joystick control, switching from tank to swerve will take training and adjusting.

For these buttons, will they be just boolean inputs? I think that would be rather hard to control.

I haven't tried it, but I guess triggers could work. I suppose it's just a matter of driver preference
For me, I prefer an independent twisting controller to rotate.

Ooh, that's pretty cool. Do you mind sharing how that works mathematically?
