Need Help Limiting Max Joystick Input

[random.hero]

I'd like to limit the maximum power that our joystick outputs at 100% push down to say 50% output or so. I've attached a pic of our code as I apparently do things a little bit differently than others do as far as coding my joysticks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It seems there are quite a few teams wanting to limit motor voltage at the 11th hour. Bad choice of gearing maybe?

Last minute change of drive system from 6 super grips to 4 mechs. Too much power/speed now so want to tame it a little bit.

Fastest way is to just multiply each of the axes going into the drive by some constant between 0 and 1. If you wan to halve it, multiply each by 0.5

Just so that rookie teams contemplating doing this do so with eyes wide open:

That looks like code from last year. The 2015 Joystick functions return the axes and buttons as arrays, not as bundles.

Just use the multiply block and multiply the joystick input by a decimal before sending it to the drive block.

I believe this should work. Use the controls on the front end of the teleop.vi to establish desired top speeds then hard code them.
