My interpretation of the above is:
1) calculate the 4 motor speeds using the X and Y translation commands

2) calculate the motor speeds for rotation using the output from a PID

3) add the the corresponding speeds from (1) and (2).
Wouldn't it be more straightforward to compute the 4 motors speeds just once directly from the X, Y, and rotation commands?


BTW, what's the significance of the CH in caps?
