This thing is increible!!! I've watched the video several times over, and have spent some time trying to figure out how you guys controled it. I just don't see how it could be done with simple joysticks. PLEASE explain to me how you acomplished this incredible task.

This is by far the coolest drive system I've ever seen!
I knew someone on the team and saw them at the western michigan regional. They basically had the joysticks set up how they had the motors set up. The handles had been removed I believe and they had a tri-handle thing made of metal that connected them all. very cool, kinda hard to steer though. vectors are fun
