i wish i had the resources to do that but i cant. but yes i agree a driver would not be able to drive in a straight line while rotating. but why would he ever need to? the field has many obstacles, and when will you ever need to rotate and move in a straight line for a longer distance than a couple meters? and as for driver? its not hard. for example. a person who flies rc helicopters should have NO problem. there's no Z in this.
