Re: Slow down teh motors!

I'd suggest a completely different method of reducing sensitivity, exponential control with a deadband. That way you don't need to have your driver remember to press a switch, as well as not amplifying the area where joystick motion is not translated into robot motion (which dividing does). I made a long post about exponential control and how to implement it here.
