Re: Driving: Tank, Arcade or FPS?

I used to prefer 2-joystick tank drive to regular arcade, but after trying split-arcade, it's my new favorite. Very intuitive, especially for anyone who has played video games.

IMHO the terms "split-arcade" and "FPS" control modes are not interchangeable terms for the same thing.

Split-arcade is for skid-steer robots, as it cannot handle strafing of any kind. FPS can only be used on swerve/mecanum/holonomic robots where the left joystick is full X-Y translation and the right joystick is rotation.
