From what I know, which may not be correct outside of 2012 and 2013:
Main Driver:
- 2010: One Joystick. Either Attack 3 or Attack 3D. Arcade Drive variant where rotation was done through two buttons on top of the joystick (our programmer was new that year
). - 2011: Tank Drive with two Attack 3 Joysticks.
- 2012: Tank Drive with two Attack 3 Joysticks.
- 2013: Tank Drive with two Attack 3 Joysticks (I see a pattern here...)
Driver preference tends to be key. Our drivers have often times preferred tank drive over Arcade/ Kaj Drive because they like the ability to reduce the power going to one wheel independently from the other wheel. For some drivers this is difficult to master, however it works great for precision steering if trained properly.
