Just a quick thought from an arm-chair programmer who lacks some skill. Is it possible to code in a tank-steer mode for your system? Flip a toggle on the control and all four wheels align themselves parallel to the frame and stick control reverts to a two stick tank steer... Maybe you only have a single stick drive so that is not an option...
