As far as programming, would you reccomend a joystick devoted to moving the robot in any direction and another axis (x axis on a 2nd stick comes to mind) devoted to rotating the robot around its CoG?

the typical minimum sensors needed for a swerve is at least one form or rotary position sensor to alert you as to the direction of your wheels.
