Re: Drivers Control

2011: We used 1 Logitech controller for arcade drive, and a custom board for positioning the arm. It had a "Mini me" version of our arm with potentiometers and correct arm segment lengths that we used for custom positioning. It also had buttons in a layout for the drivers to press, along with sweep and station, and "Barf and flip", which was used for clearing the tubes.

2012: 1 xbox controller for octocanum control. Also controlled bride manipulator. 1 logitech for turret, intake, and firing control.

2013: 1 flight controller, 1 logitech. The flight controller had a constant rate throttle, and an arcade joystick for turning. Also controlled hanging. Logitech controlled all disk handling and lateral aiming, in addition to firing.
