What would the toggle switch be used for?

I amended my post Seconds After I posted it, It no longer suggests trimmers, but rather a method of on the fly calibration. Which I now no longer recommend. If you are still worried about drift, program it such that any joystick input from 117 to 137 sends 127 to the victors.

The toggle switch would tell the robot to ignore the joystick values and send 127 to the victors no matter what as long as the switch is 'on'.
