Re: Which controler for driving mecanum?
Our team has used an xbox controller for all of our functions with one driver since at least 2011. 3 of the years we used mecanum and we would have the left joystick/gamepad control forward-back and side-side sliding motion. We then would use the 2 triggers to control an angular turn around the center of our chassis. This was REALLY easy to use and I was able to drive like a pro my first time with the robot on the ground.
