Mr. Van
One thing you have to remember is that robots are not cars. They do not drive like cars. If I'm understanding you correctly, when the joystick is pushed to the back left corner, the robot is going backwards and to the right, but it is still turning to the left relative to the forward direction. This is consistent with tank style robot drive systems.

This is the way that single joystick drive has been since the beginning and it is the way that most robots are set up. I say most because robots with swerve drives can be set either way, depending on driver preference. Last year, on 1114's swerve drive, the turning was "car style"(ie, what your hoping to attain). We also had a button to switch between swerve, and tank style steering. It became very confusing since in either mode, turning in reverse became opposite.

Your drivers just have to get used to it. After a couple of hours, it will be second nature.

I hope this helps, and sorry if I confused anyone more than they already were.
