That depends on what you want the drivetrain to do, and whether your joystick is 2 axis or 3 axis, and what motors and gear ratios you intend to use for the sideways motors.

Provide a little more detail.



Without knowing what you want the drive to do, one suggestion for a 2-axis joystick would be to program it in two separate modes, with the desired mode selectable using a botton or buttons.

ModeA could be simple tank or arcade driver interface (sideways motors not used). ModeB could be strafe mode (power only the 2 sideways motors and leave the corner ones unpowered).
