you could do this without joystick twisting - simply make it so that when you push the joystick full to the right or left, the appropriate motor is not simply full-stopped, but instead reversed - i.e. the first 3/4 of the joystick motion to the left slows the left motor, the last 1/4 speeds it up again, but in reverse. then simply push the joystick up and right or up and left to turn sharply.
