I actually think I may have figured it out tonight. I bought a PS4 controller and connected it to the app BrickController2 on my iPhone. Then I was able to specify what motors spin a specific direction for each joystick axis and created the correct combinations to move the way I want. Here's a diagram of the way you cans each motor needs to turn to create movement in each direction. https://www.vexforum.com/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c7963dec531b7e893ddcf91c4fc9159928c4b56c.jpeg
    I'll try and get some video showing the movement and how the controller controls it and once I'm really happy with it I can screenshot the settings in case other people want to do it.  less
