Bwaha, we are on our drive system class

And for the record we only use one joystick, only ever have used one joystick

I think we use blend functions to drive it with one joystick.

Drive foreward: all wheels turn foreward
Drive backward: all wheels turn backwards
Turn left: left wheels turn back, right wheels turn foreward
Turn right: left wheels turn forward, right wheels turn back

Those are the extremes, and then we set up a blend function (not sure if it something we made or not though) to blend the extremes together for any other joystick position.

For the record, I am not the programmer, that all I know about, and I have heard the term blend function so many times from them while they work on the drive program, so it must be important!!

best of luck!!
