What did you use and why?

I personally am addicted to tank drive. I love the way it gives you control of the robot, and as a result 4476 has been able to do some cool things on the field. I've played with arcade and split arcade plenty, but personally love the absolute control you have with tank. Never used cheesy drive, max speed of a robot that I have driven in 14 ft/s
I have always been an advocate of whatever the driver wants. I have seen plenty of drivers rip it out on the field. Ultimately, use whatever makes your driver the best.
