Description

Use the equation y = (1 / ((1 - b)^a)) * ((x - b) ^ a) where b is your controller deadband and a is used to scale sensitivity

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the current joystick scaling implementation in the codebase. Identify where the deadband (b) and sensitivity (a) are configured or used. Then adapt the code to use the new equation y = (1 / ((1 b)^a)) * ((x b) ^ a). Ensure proper variable types and test with a sample joystick input.
