Re: Driving: Tank, Arcade or FPS?

Ken,


This is the first, and so far only, substantive argument I've heard in favor of two-stick tank drive. Congratulations!

For that maneuver, the one-side pivot, I would suggest setting the right and left bumper buttons on a controller to disable all output to one drive-train side, or prevent any reverse movement on one drive-train side (obviously correlated to the button's side). This should be trivially easy to implement in code and result in the control scheme that you desire.

In 2012 we used a similar type of control to align to the bridge, except instead of controller buttons we used two limit switches on our bridge-lowering mechanism to turn off one, or the other, drives.
