Does this happen all of the time, or just some of the time?

We have had this in the past, if someone was displacing the joystick while plugging it in, like pulling it slightly backwards. This happens when someone is holding the joystick as another person plugs it in to the USB port. Windows takes the initial position when plugged in as the default zero, so when the stick is released to its natural zero point, the computer thinks it is being pushed off of zero.
We just use the x and y axes for holonomic drive.
The weird thing is that it happens only for driving and only forward (y axis).
Happens every time the joystick is not plugged in.
