Consider this thread from last year: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=125759

Team 33 found that all drivers wound up preferring FPS-style control to two-stick tank and found it "way easier" to control their robot(s).
Well, I was a base driver in 2008 - so if you are familiar with the game, then you know that driving at less than full throttle was not a scenario that I encountered
I have no question that 2-stick tank requires finesse; but from running driver training with RC controls, I know that that is not a unique situation.
If people find something that they like, more power to them. I haven't discounted any method of control.
