Hey all,
Well I have been wondering about how to do some more advanced stuff for next season and one of the coolest things I have seen are slaves(at least that is what I hear they are called) The mini- arms on operator interfaces. I was wondering how i would go about making one and how one works. I know I have seen them on a bunch of teams I know 25 used one, anyway if you have any information regarding to these controls please give me some feedback this would be awesome to know and maybe to do for the offseason

It's actually not that complicated to build, just to maintain. The major problem we faced is the pots kept getting uncalibrated and were a pain to fix. It was definitely easy to drive with that because joysticks would make it almost impossible.

I can give help you out at one of the upcoming competition which we meet in. Have your mechanical/controls and programming team meet me.
