This is also true and is how the holonomic vi is coded.

If you want to change it so that your motors are running at full power I'd advise making a copy of the holonomic vi and reworking the math inside of it to your liking.
Actually, labview DOES have this function in an easy-to-use VI that can output degrees and magnitude from your joystick direction.
