Re: What is the best robot-operating setup you can think of?

We have always used 2 joysticks as we feel it gives the most control. While the xbox controller is great for video games, it was designed for comfort and play for more than 2 hours at a time. For robotics we can use our entire arms while standing because the matches are only 2 minutes. As far as what the joysticks controll, we like to make each joystick control their respective sides when we are using 6 wheel drop or other tankdrive chassis. For Omnidirectional drive, we have the non-dominant hand control rotation and the other translation.
