It looks like you are using arcade controls vs tank, so you may want to look at some past discussions on this topic that might be helpful:

Optimizing Exponential Drive?

Months ago, I made a guide to implementing an exponential drive function in VCS C++. After learning a lot more C++ and switching to PROS, my last exponential function looked something like this: #define JOYSTICK_DEADZONE 8 int getExpoValue(int joystickValue) { int output = 0; // Ignore joystick input if it's too small if(abs(joystickValue) > JOYSTICK_DEADZONE){ // Direction is either 1 or -1, based on joystick value int direction = abs(joystickValue) / joystickValue; …

Arcade and X-Arcade Drive using full range of joystick without clipping

I responded in a couple other topics about Arcade and X-Arcade drive code. I had intended to post some tables to visualize what is happening in the code but discourse does not make that easy. So I converted a spreadsheet to HTML & JavaScript. You can pull or download the html pages from GitHub here: BTW, I’m sure I didn’t come up with the Arcade Drive equations. I remember seeing something like them a few years(?) back but it still took me a couple hours to figure out the math. If anyone kno…
