Question Considering Steering Wheel Controls
After seeing steering wheel controls (with a joystick as a throttle) implemented on several robots this year, I thought that it would be an interesting offseason project to work on implementing these controls. So, I have a few questions for teams who use this setup:

1. Is this control scheme intuitive?

2. Have you ever used it with a holonomic drivetrain? Did it work well?

3. What steering wheel would you recommend?

4. Are there any programming challenges with this interface?
