Re: Drive style

Our team in the past has used joysticks, but we switched over to game controllers ever since we had "hardcore" (for lack of better term) gamers for drivers.

We have two drivers, and they both use separate game-pads. One for driving and shifting gears, and another for manipulator devices (acquisition device, kicker, shooter, etc). It is whatever the drivers feel more comfortable with; some tend to be better with joysticks than a game controller, and vice versa.
