Yeah, the wheel + throttle drive system is really nice!

You don't actually need closed loop to do it though - it's completely workable as open loop as well.

The nice part about it is that it encourages you to keep your velocity as you turn, instead of doing the drive-turn-drive that a lot of people driving tank tend to do.
