Ah, but who says this joystick class isn't applicable to other drive types than those with omni or mecanum wheels? The rover wheels are actually quite suitable for a holonomic setup (wheels are setup parallel to each side, with axles lined up like this: + ) and there are certainly other drive types out there that can use the rover wheels.

I would love to give a specific example of those "other" drive types, but my mechanical team leader would like to keep that a secret for just a few days longer .
