I still have yet to figure out how to program a mecanum drive.

Am I missing an equation or formula that can be used in programing a mecanum drive that makes it easier?
Here are two simple algorithms:

2 JOYSTICK TANK DRIVE MECANUM SEPARATION OF VARIABLES

3-AXIS JOYSTICK MECANUM ALGORITHM

The above algorithms are not optimum, but they work.
