Me and my team have made a robot that in the shape of an octagon. The wheels are placed so they are all facing outwards (In the corner sides of the octagon). My team and I would like to make the robot be able to just move left and right using the joysticks but the drivetrain won’t let us due to the unusual build. I want to make a code that lets us move our left 2 motors, our right 2 motors and still use the 4motor drive train with no conflicts. HELP!
A picture of the drivetrain would really help, but i’m assuming since you said it is four motors in the shape of an octagon, you are using a weird form of an x-drive.
If you are, these links might help:

The programming languages used might be a little different, but the math (the important part) should stay the same.
