Re: Broken 360 controller needs a dead zone

I have also noticed that the xbox controllers that we used (knockoffs from best buy), auto-center themselves when initialized. We experienced this at competition when we turned turned on the driver station with the controller wire wrapped around the controller, holding one of the sticks off center. Then when tele-op started, the robot drove in a perpetual circle, really irritating as it turns out. I don't know if this solves any problems, but just some extra information.
