No, I am not familiar with anyone else having emulated HolonomicDrive with an H-drive. I was just remarking that the value of sharing and getting more eyes on your idea usually has better payoff than keeping it secret does.

I can think of several solutions to this issue, none of them perfect. They pretty much come down to variations on:

1. Accept the fact that left to right strafing is at a lower speed and work through it in driver practice
2. Reduce the power on the tank drives (not recommended as an only solution; you'd be giving up the reasons for selecting H).
3. allow some way to switch between these two, or one of these and regular tank-drive or tank-drive-plus-strafe (or any three or four)
