Re: Zero turn mower style steering trial
I feel like you'll get a lot of west side Michigan advice on this one...
One of our drivers insisted that he had to have two joysticks to drive this upcoming season. I told them to try it. The task I gave them was to drive down a 60' long and 10' wide hallway with one joystick then with two and check the difference. One joystick was nearly half the time and they didn't hit the walls once. With two they hit the wall at least ten times until I was almost ready to make them stop.
Some kids just get a control system and adapt to it quickly. Others won't. Again, I'm not recommending one way or another. The sample code is already out there, just load it up and see what you like better. We had no idea until we tried it.
Same as a game pad, I had thought that kids would be super used to that and so much better with one. But the accuracy just isn't there compared to the long travel of a joystick. But we never would have known unless we tried it.
