Re: Drivers Control
We really loved our gamepad + joystick setup this year. The gamepad was used by the driver. Our main driver this year preferred tank drive, I prefer cheesy drive. While I find that cheesy allows most people to perform better, it really depends on your driver. Also we tried xbox controllers last year but we prefer the gamepads because the joysticks are located right next to each other.
The operator controls really can vary year to year. We've used a logitech joystick for the past few years because we haven't needed anything else. Ideally we would have custom buttons for each year, but we don't have enough manpower to design and build a control board each year. For now, if we ever run into a situation where we need more buttons/joysticks we will likely use an xbox controller/gamepad.
