Re: Single-Axis Joystick Options

You probably could CAD or machine a brace for the bottom of any joystick (I recommend the Attack 3 because it has a lot of space below the stick and above the pivot point, such that you could make a 'track' that restricts motion on the x-axis.
We used two of these and didn't even use the x-axis on a tank drive in 2014, and they worked just fine.
Additionally, you could use a slide pot hooked up to a spring which would bring it back to zero when you let go.
