Nope, not us. 2009 was a Logitech gamepad. The left stick was the crab strick. You could think of it as a top view of the crab modules. Which ever way you deflected the stick, the module would go there. If you let go of the stick, the module would center. The right stick had multiple purposes. When the crab stick was deflected, only the Y axis was used, and it acted as the throttle. When the crab stick was not deflected, the right stick acted as a single stick tank drive. There were also a few gimmicks that we used such as having a button to angle the crab slightly (helped with picking up against the wall) and some special logic to tank turn while the crab wheels were not centered (standard tank turn logic doesn't hold true when the wheels are turned because the robot will try to pull itself apart
)
