Just curious... How are you planning on configuring your operator interface for controlling the mecanum wheels?

e.g.

Joystick1 y-axis controls fwd/rev for all 4 wheels and
Joystick1 x-axis controls right/left slide and
Joystick2 x-axis control right/left spin

OR

Joystick1 y-axis controls fwd/rev for left wheels and
Joystick2 y-axis controls fwd/rev for right wheels and
Joystick1 x-axis controls right/left slide

OR

something else??
