Re: Driving: Tank, Arcade or FPS?

I come from the old-school School of Tank Drive: Left Joystick is left, Right Joystick is right, but I just recently switched teams, and my new team is trying out the FPS style controls for the first time.

We are going with H-Drive this year, so our controls are as follows:
Left Thumbstick = forward, back, strafe L/R
Right Thumbstick: Left = turn left, Right = turn right
Directional buttons = precise directional movements (50% speed of Left Thumbstick)

This is an entirely different world than what I'm accustomed to (back when I drove a long time ago, using joysticks instead of videogame controllers), but the kids seem to work well with it, so that's all that matters to me.
