The best controls are ones that make sense to your drive team. They're the ones that have to be driving in the heat of competition. Every year our programmers develop driving code for a traditional joystick and an Xbox controller. For driver tryouts we allow each student to pick which they'd like to drive with. When the drive team is selected, the drive team (not the mentors, coaches, or other students) picks button and stick axis assignments.

Your drive team should be telling the programmers how the robot is controlled, not the other way around.
