Re: [FTC]: Motor Trim

It's probably just as simple as reading the value from the joysticks. If the value is between -5 and +5 (which would normally be a good dead zone range), then send a +5 (or -5) power to the motors. That way when you release the joysticks, they'll still have power to keep the arm raised.
