: As for losing part of our range, when I attempted to scale down the drive train output to 50% of the joystick value in order to create our 'turbo boost' function, using the code shown below:
: (for forward)
: p1_yfilt = (p1_yfilt)/2 min 128 max 254
: (for reverse)
: p1_yfilt = (p1_yfilt*3)/2 min 0 max 126

: in one direction, i would lose all output unless the 'turbo' function was on, and in the other, it would always act as if the turbo was turned on.

I don't have the PBASIC manual handy, but it looks like the problem might be that the precedence of min/max is higher than division. In other words, I suspect PBASIC evaluated your statements as:

p1_yfilt = (p1_yfilt)/(2 min 128 max 254), and
p1_yfilt = (p1_yfilt*3)/(2 min 0 max 126)

Try rewriting them as follows:

p1_yfilt = (p1_yfilt/2) min 128 max 254, and
p1_yfilt = ((p1_yfilt*3)/2) min 0 max 126
