How many Joysticks are you using?
 

Team 2039 is using 2 joysticks total.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

no "zero" choice?

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

2, One for the drive, one for the steering.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

If you're using zero then use the 'other' button.
(Sorry thought I'd lump the choice together)

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

4

Two for driving and two that were taken apart so they could be condensed into one port. We didn't need all the extra buttons.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

Four joysticks. Two for drive. Two for arm control. And two other controllers for driving too...

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

Drive - One three axis joystick for strafing and turning.

Manipulator - One for raising and lowering the arm.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

Just 1 here --
Using a joystick for drive throttle, using a steering wheel for, you guessed it, steering. And using an xbox controller for arm.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

3 joysticks. 2 for drive (tank controls) and 1 for the arm.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

4, 2 for drive, 2 for other controls.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

4 sticks, a steering wheel, and at least 10 keyboard buttons that we wired ourselves to the OI. I don't know if there is a single open analog or digital port left on the OI that we haven't used.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

Two joysticks and a box- four buttons, a switch and a dial. Mayhap the third button (whose LED is refusing to work at the moment anyway) will be rendered unnecessary by the dial.

All the features of the box were wired to one OI Port, except a wire from the switch to a joystick. The last control port (box) is used for testing. So perhaps two and a half joysticks?

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

We have a joystick for driving, two buttons for turning, and a switch for the arm.

2. One for each side.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

4, two for the drive and two for the arm/catapult. We ran four last year too, and it got a bit crowded on the small control panel we had (we hate lugging around massive 'air-plane wing' control boards). So, this year the OI is on a small central piece of Lexan and each operator gets their sticks mounted on half a skimboard. All three parts are separable and will individually be held in place on the shelf by their own bits of velcro.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

We are using either 2 or 3- 2 real joysticks for tank driving (but the driver can hold down the thumb button to make it single stick) and a joystick we created using an Easy Button that controls the other parts of the robot.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

We are using 1 joystick for the chassis driver and an array of buttons for the secondary operator

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

Three

Two for the driver, one controls throttle the other steering
One of the operator, controls the arm

Buttons on the driver joysticks control shifting
Buttons on the operator joystick control the manipulator

and of course some lovely arcade buttons for the operator

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

We're using 2 joysticks from our Xbox 360 Controller.
Left/Right Joysticks = Left/Right Drive Systems
Left/Right Triggers for Mast
Left/Right Bumpers for "Rubber Saw"
Y/A for Mast Lock
Back/Start for Expanding/Contracting our Chassis!
Start Button = Turbo mode

We experimented with two stick driving this year - for the first time since 2002. But, per our drivers' input, we are using a single stick for skid steering. We also provide another stick for the operator to use as a vernier on our two link arm. The arm itself has 8 pre-sets, that are selected with a knob.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

We're presently using three; two for drive and one for the forks (and shooter, should we succeed in rigging that up at Chesapeake).

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

We are using two Xbox controllers but they each have two joysticks so is that zero or four?

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

We're using three again.
One for the "first driver" (moves the base of the robot)
One for the "second driver" (moves the shoulder, elbow of the robot)
We've got some extra switches, too.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

1 joystick for our mecanum wheel movement of forward, sideways, backward, diagnal.

2 pushbuttons for turning

1 3-way switch for our arm going up, stop, and down

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

4- two for driving
one for claw
one for arm

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

We've got 2 for drive (arcade-style) and 1 for controlling the arm and grabber. We have some preset arm positions, but the joystick will probably take the brunt of the use.

Xbox 360 baby!

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

360 Xbox controllers?:rolleyes:
Seems like over kill to me.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

3

two flight sticks for steering and shifting.

one kit joystick for the arm operations

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

We have 3 (tank drive and a ball manipulator) also have two switches and some lights wired to a seperate panel to help the arm contoler notify the driver of gear (high or low) I lose track with the constant switching

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?
 

4; 2 flight sticks for driving, 1 flight stick and a "right-hand-only" for track ball manipulator.
