Re: Custom Driver Stations

We used mecanum for the first time this year, so instead of our usual joysticks we got a logitech Extreme 3D pro joystick for our driver, and then we have a regular joystick for our forklift driver, and he has his own setup with custom buttons for auto-align and such.

As for working together, they have been our drivers for three years, and they worked really well together, and there wasn't much issue with communicating to the human player, (me.) We use arcade drive with one controller, our drivers find it easier to use the robot that way. We also rarely use the station window itself, just to choose our auto routine.
