Re: Crab / Swerve drive joystick control scheme

we use two joysticks to control the robot. One joystick controls one-third of the steering and speed, the other controls the other two thirds. If they are both used, 100% of the steering and speed is used. It works excellent because it allows for fine tuning without compromising function. We use translational control as the default, and once either of the triggers is used, the robot uses the rotational coordinated steering.
