-- Rover motor driver for an Ackerman style vehicle (i.e. the frame has separate throttle and steering controls)
--
-- The following parameters should be set:
--     SERVO1_FUNCTION = 94 (Script 1) 
--     SERVO3_FUNCTION = 96 (Script 3)
-- 
-- The Frame's steering control should be connected to the autopilot's output1, throttle control to output3
--
-- CAUTION: This script only works for Rover
-- This script retrieves the high level controller outputs that have been sent to the regular motor driver
-- and then outputs them to the "Script 1" and "Script 3" outputs.  This does not add any real value beyond
-- serving as an example of how lua scripts can be used to implement a custom motor driver
