I think there's a typo. You have "rotate" assigned twice. One of them should be strafe, right ?


If you have drivers who are already proficient with a tank drive interface, and you want to take advantage of that, you can use two 2-axis joysticks in standard "tank drive" mode to control the mecanum vehicle.

The left and right joystick Y-axes act just like tank drive to control fwd/rev and turning.

The X-axis on one of the joysticks controls strafing. To avoid inadvertent strafing, you can activate the X-axis command only when a trigger held down.
