I had to look up what AR stood for. Finally came to Auto Rotate instead of Assault Rifle. That is an interesting one joystick method for field-centric control. If I understand it correctly it would always adjust to point the robot's intake in whatever direction the robot is moving. Not a solution for every situation, but a viable option for some.

Right now we are trying to think through how using a robot-centric camera to aid the driver in blind areas of the field would mesh with a field-centric driver input. Whatever we decide our drivers are eager to log the hours needed to master the controls. It's been years (2008, 2010) since we've done an omni-directional drive-train, and this thing is just fun to drive.
