Programming 6 CIM Drive - Talon SRX CAN

[IceStorm]

Does anyone have any advice for the best way to setup a 6 CIM drivetrain using CAN with Talon SRX speed controllers. We are looking to implement tank drive. With PWM we used to always just use the 4 motor version and then y the outputs of 1 set of pwms for each side.

From the way I see it we really have 3 options, just trying to figure out which is the best.

1. Use both a 4 motor and 2 motor drive system and then feed the same values to both.

2. Create our own code that is just 6 CAN speed controllers and feed the same values to them per side (since we are using tank this shouldn't be too hard)

3. Try and recreate the drive system code but in a 6 speed controller version.


Just wondering what other teams have done who have had this problem.
