Something that we originally had on the robot, but later took off was an option for field-centric driving. We ended up not using this because we discovered that it was hard to line up with the chute door using those controls.
Another thing I personally discovered was that the queuing line at Worlds is about a mile from the practice fields...

We should have used that control system... Its true that you get more precision then simple tank control...
(We got our human player run all the mile to our pit twice because one of our motor controller was dead
