Detailed Description

This action will use the joystick for input to drive the robot.

This class creates its own ArJoyHandler to get input from the joystick. Then it will scale the speed between 0 and the given max for velocity and turning, up and down on the joystick go forwards/backwards while right and left go right and left. You must press in one of the two joystick buttons for the class to pay attention to the joystick.

NOTE: The joystick does not save calibration information, so you must calibrate the joystick before each time you use it. To do this, press the button for at least a half a second while the joystick is in the middle. Then let go of the button and hold the joystick in the upper left for at least a half second and then in the lower right corner for at least a half second.
