*drools* Yeah, that's definitely the coolest drivetrain I've ever seen...

At nationals I had a good conversation with someone about how the whole system works. I believe it's driven by three crosslinked joysticks (not in software mind you, but literally, three interconnected joysticks, one for each axis, tied together by a metal apparatus) Movement was achieved by moving the center of the apparatus in the direction of which you wished to travel, if I'm not mistaken. Can anyone confirm this?
