Control System for Pegasus 4.0

Our driver gets 1 wonderful Joystick to drive around in slow speed tank steer, pull the trigger to go to full 100% speed tank steer. Press the top button to engage 'Sidestep' which is our version of swerving such that the robot follows the joystick keeping its orientation when the top button is pressed. We added a Pot that selects Joysticks 1-4 and shows the joystick calibration on 4 LED's in a diamond pattern which is handy and works right before the start while the robot is still disabled. The manipulator is 2 more joysticks one to move the goal grabber in-out and release, the other to suck/shoot balls and raise/lower the boom. Calibration turns out to be really important once you pass the 10 ft/sec limit.
