/**
 * A class for driving differential drive/skid-steer drive platforms such as
 * the Kit of Parts drive base, "tank drive", or West Coast Drive.
 *
 * These drive bases typically have drop-center / skid-steer with two or more
 * wheels per side (e.g., 6WD or 8WD). This class takes a setter per side. For
 * four and six motor drivetrains, use CAN motor controller followers or
 * PWMMotorController::AddFollower().
 *
 * A differential drive robot has left and right wheels separated by an
 * arbitrary width.
 *
 * Drive base diagram:
 * <pre>
 * |_______|
 * | |   | |
 *   |   |
 * |_|___|_|
 * |       |
 * </pre>
 *
 * Each drive function provides different inverse kinematic relations for a
 * differential drive robot.
 *
 * This library uses the NWU axes convention (North-West-Up as external
 * reference in the world frame). The positive X axis points ahead, the positive
 * Y axis points to the left, and the positive Z axis points up. Rotations
 * follow the right-hand rule, so counterclockwise rotation around the Z axis is
 * positive.
 *
 * Inputs smaller then 0.02 will be set to 0, and larger values will be scaled
 * so that the full range is still used. This deadband value can be changed
 * with SetDeadband().
 *
 * MotorSafety is enabled by default. The tankDrive, arcadeDrive,
 * or curvatureDrive methods should be called periodically to avoid Motor
 * Safety timeouts.
