Be careful with implementation if you decide to go with tank. If you move the sticks opposite ways, the robot will be trying to tear itself apart/compress itself (yes I know it might be hard to do by accident but closed loop is better than open loop )


I believe 1675's Mecanum control was 1 stick left/right did pivot, the other stick did all directions of translation (including forward and backward)
