Hello, I was curious if anyone could help me with coding a drivetrain to do this. I would greatly appreciate it. I can send my current code if needed.
Do you mean like this?
Once you’ve set up your drivetrain and controller in the Devices tab, click on the joystick to progress through the different driving options.

Thanks so much, this is my first time coding for the bot and I was not sure how to setup this type of driving.
something you can do, (looks like block code) Is setting all your motors to run forward/ backwards depending on the joystick position, for this you would use axis 3
And when it comes to turning, you would set the motors to corresponding directions to spin left ( left side backwards, right side forward) or to spin right ( left side forward, right side backwards) on axis 1
And then have it add/subtract the directions based on joystick positions, so if you want to move forward and turn right at the same time you would have to add/subtract the corresponding values, I’m not too sure how to do this in blocks but I’m sure if you look up on YouTube “Vexcode Blocks Arcade drive”, you could find some examples and use those to reference in your code.

I have started to use text code and it has worked very well until I encountered that my driver wants this type of steer.
maybe a little advance, but this is the best way (in my opinion) to code the drivetrain.
If you understand the concept of it, you can make this code fit for your drivetrain.
Hope this helps
