Which makes it even stranger that we never figured this out, because we used an RC car controller to drive our robot in 2008 and 09.
When we don't have a holonomic drive, we still prefer the RC car controllers to FPS drive on a gamepad. We find the larger range of motion of the axes allows for more precise control of the robot than the tiny thumbsticks on a gamepad.
