the reason for doing so is explained in the post.

The change is two fold... multiply by sqrt(2) and then normalize. I believe you'll find that the end result is the same.

Can you just commit the RobotDrive changes to FIRSTForge? We would be happy to help test.

Not sure when the update will be released. I believe the goal is to release the updates for all languages together. If you want to test it, I'll just post the files here.
