Seriously... to get an understanding of how it works, think of playing Halo. Any move you can make (X-Y direction only  ) the robot can do with default code. It doesn't take a good driver to arc about a fixed point outside the robot. |
he means circle-strafing. keep in mind this is also using the two analog sticks on the x-box controller, this maneuver would be harder using KOP joysticks. i cant wait to see their operator interface this year, they are always so elegant, and portable!
also, a really talented driver could "translate straight while rotating automatically", if you can do it in halo, you can do it with nonadrive. theoretically. this would involve making the drive vector point in the same direction relative to the field, i.e. spinning the movement stick while keeping the rotation constant. easier said than done, but i have seen it in halo.
