Robot Control Touchy

Technical Java
1

Is there a way to make the robot start up more gradually in tankdrive and in arcadedrive? Right now i am just using the RobotDrive class to control our Sim motors.

if(driveMode==0){
drive.tankDrive(rightstick, leftstick);
}

if(driveMode==1){
drive.arcadeDrive(rightstick);
}

Use Squared inputs

drive.arcadeDrive(speed, rotate, true);

Write your own filter into the Jaguar class in the libraries. I personally don’t like the squared inputs method because it makes handling at higher speeds wierd.
