We have 2 joysticks that control the drive, with buttons that do various drive aiding functions. Also, one button controls the tilt of the forklift vertical. Then the co-driver controls the grabber arms and the lifting mechanism, along with some other goodies. This allows the driver to have complete mobility around the field (because I can lower the vertical to go under the bar), while the co-driver can focus entirely on bin grabbing and stacking. But communication is key.
