:param directions: Configuration for the motor directions. A direction is basically a configuration of the
power delivered to each motor to allow whichever object you're controlling (wheels, robotic arms etc.) to
move in a certain direction. In my experience the ZeroBorg always needs a bit of calibration, depending on
factory defaults and the mechanical properties of the load it controls.
Example configuration that I use to control a simple 4WD robot::
directions = {
"up": [
0.4821428571428572, # Motor 1 power
0.4821428571428572, # Motor 2 power
