Lightbulb Nintendo Style Speed Booster

ok so we've all played the classic nintendo racing game where you hit the "Z" button and you get a booster, or whatever. What if this could be implemented in a robot.
Say I have a 'dead-band' around my joystick inputs so that they can only go so fast for extra control. But there are those times when you want to get across the field as fast as possible. Alas, The Speed Booster!
Quite simple actually to program, but it may be hard on the machine, I dunno. The program would just include the dead-band code but with a variable for the top joystick input. When the button is pushed, max out the variable. Simple, eh?
Basically the joystick would have some sort of desensitizing function on it but when the button is pressed it is undesensitized...that's not a word is it...

PS I don't know if there is another thread about this topic because the javascript pop-up menus appear to be broken for FF.
