I just discussed this with our other driver (Scitobor 617) and we agree that the robot will tun too slowly in the heat of a match for any good use outside of demonstrations. Even if you put one joystick forward, then both wheels move forward, and you turn on an arc.

However, if you really wanted to, you could put that code in your code ( ) and add a switch on the controll board that would effectivly "comment out" the extra code, allowing you to turn more quickly.

Just a thought from the middle of US and Virginia History.
