Only a very weird configuration would make it harder... like only using 3 wheels

As for making it go relative to the driver, thats where it becomes tricky (all that great vector math). Thats where we used the gyro, and thats how our robot messed up (preseason, the lead programmer then decided that it wasn't worth our time).

We also found out that a gyro is affected by temperature, pressure, etc. greatly; and that it gave out different readings at different times of the day oh well
