Re: Drivers Control

On 3309 this year we used 2 Xbox 360 controllers. The base driver (me) used the controller in a "Halo/Cheesy Drive" control scheme to drive our WCD base. The left stick was throttle and the right stick was turn. We also had some good autocorrect code using a gyro so our robot would actually drive straight. We used the right analog trigger so when it was held we would be in low gear and switch back to high when it was released.
The second driver used his Xbox controller to run the shooter, with buttons for preset speeds. There was also a button which when held would shoot when the wheel was at the right RPM. The right stick was for small turning adjustments (to let him help me line up at the pyramid) and the right stick was for our dumper.
