Your good to go with this, but while I'm here I thought I would suggest something 1930 did in 2008. Are main idea was that you could save time by not turning and instead backing up when you got to the other end of the field, to aid in this we set up two buttons on top of the joysticks that would reverse the forward direction on the joystick to instead move the robot backwards. This means that if you have a ball behind you during the game you can just press a button and it will reverse the robots direction, to some this may seem trivial, but it helps you make better sense of the direction your going in and is more comfortable than just going backwards.
