This is actually what we do with our software. When we receive joystick input data, the first thing we do is scale it to a full-range value (0-254) and then all subsequent processing is done on that value. So, regardless of our joysticks, we always output 0-254 to our speed controllers, and calibrate the speed controllers using that. This ensures no surprises with autonomous mode (however our closed-loop positioning system would take care of incorrectly calibrated speed controllers anyway).
