That's pretty cool. I like the idea of automatically switching to quick turn after the driver pushes the stick far enough to the side. This is similar to a team who used an actual steering wheel to control their robot one year!

How do your drivers feel about this setup? In the past we've tried some similar things (cheesydrive/right stick steering wheel), but our drivers preferred a tank drive setup, claiming that the cheesy drive was better for driving around an empty field, but when in pushing matches and having to line up, tank drive was better.

Also, do you know if anybody has come up with a way to use these style algorithms on swerve/meccanum, or with the sort of drive that 148 used in 2010 (I forget what it's called).
