Custom Driver Stations
As a driver, I've always used a simple control scheme with everything on one XBOX controller. I guess I just find it easier to use, and only me driving eliminates any communication problems that could come between having two drivers.

But I'm curious about teams that use other Driver Stations. How well do they work? Are there any communication problems between your drivers? How well do the custom driver stations with all the buttons work? Does anyone feel as though there is an advantage to a certain version versus another?

As a follow up, how to you guys control your robots? I.E. What controllers, arcade vs. tank vs. custom, stuff like that.
