We experimented during build with field-centric drive controls for our H drive. The difference in power between the X and Y drive directions meant that it wasn't particularly useful because the robot still needs to be pointing forwards to go at any decent speed for travel. Also, our team specifically isn't able to get access to a decent-sized area for driver practice very often, so the additional time needed for our driver to get used to it didn't seem worth it.
