Our drivers all like to use tank, but I've been trying to get them to try out arcade. Personally, I like how you can tune the linear interpolation as much as you want without the clipping that other arcade drives have. It is definitely easier to predict the effect of changes in parameters.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to do any good comparisons with other arcade drives on our robot in the 2013 season because we were too unstable to turn well. Hopefully our new programmers give linear interpolation another look this year, and then I will be able to give you better feedback.
