Robot-centric. I didn't have any gyros or accelerometers around, so there was no way for me to program absolute (driver-centric) control. That, and at the time I programmed it in EasyC, and I was unsure if sine, cosine, and tangent functions existed. Either way, most people who I let drive that robot found even relative (robot-centric) driving very easy to drive.
