Really simple to drive, soooo easy to program, I just got on this team last year. This summer, I took our 2002 robot to my house. Added a brain, programmed it up in like 1 minute, and just went nutz. Only problem is that it's only good on flat carpet....

joysticks no big deal
 

making a new stick without modifying the originals is no problem.........in fact some of this testing has been done. but who knows if we'll ever use the drivetrain again.

i really love it, but i'm not convinced that its a game winner, and since we haven't had three matched motors again, its made me more skeptical.

Is the thing hard to stop?

not sure what you mean
 

is this a traction question? or something else?

Team 857's old website had a great 8mb video of this thing in action.
