Re: Controls for a Crab Drive
In 2001 when we did the swerve, we used one joystick for everything, in normal more the robot drove around like a non-swerve bot. When you held in the trigger it was in swerve and the crab modules followed the joystick vector. However with some experimenting the best I can come up with is something like a MS sidewinder force feedback that had the ability to twist the joystick for a third axis. This way X and Y would be the swerve vector then to rotate, twist the joystick. It seems to be VERY natural when you get used to it.
