Re: Diver controllers

We used XBOX controllers, and for example, this year the elevator/arm operator primarily used the buttons, and the base driver mainly used the sticks and shoulder buttons (we find this configuration to work really well for a crab drive). This year, it also worked out that the base driver could actually make use of the buttons as well because the minibot deployment usually occurred when the robot was stationary and right next to the tower. This also would ensure that in most cases, the robot wouldn't be moving as we deployed the minibot to make it more consistent and eliminate any confusion in the heat of the competition between the drivers.
