Description

ForzaDrive is named after the Forza videogame series (although this style is the standard across all games)

Basically, the left stick controls turning, the left trigger is brake/reverse, and the right trigger is accelerate

To do this, you will create a new command (probably called ForzaDrive, and add the new code there).

NOTE: You will likely have to add some extra smoothing to make acceleration and direction changes less aggressive

Research direction

Locate the existing command structure and drive-control entry points, then read how current controller inputs are mapped. Implement the ForzaDrive command with left-stick steering, left-trigger braking or reversing, and right-trigger acceleration, including the needed smoothing; done means these controls behave as described on the robot.
