Re: Driving: Tank, Arcade or FPS?

This is an interesting system. I will suggest it to our programmer this afternoon and possibly start driving it around tonight! We normally use two stick tank drive. Something we will still do is to actually have two joysticks rather than just a gamepad. We found that when our drivers use a gamepad, they think of the robot as a warthog from Halo and just use full power all the time rather than slow careful movements when it's needed.
