Our programmers this year actually got the code down to 4 lines... and it was just converting joy numbers to good PWM values.... super efficient.
Most programmers that I've met actually say they're
easier to program than a 4-wheel / 6 wheel tank drive, or at least the ones that have used them.
Only a very weird configuration would make it harder... like only using 3 wheels
As for making it go relative to the driver, thats where it becomes tricky (all that great vector math). Thats where we used the gyro, and thats how our robot messed up (preseason, the lead programmer then decided that it wasn't worth our time).
We also found out that a gyro is affected by temperature, pressure, etc. greatly; and that it gave out different readings at different times of the day
oh well
