Are you seriously kidding me. I use an xbox one controller on our bot. And i have been the driver for 2 years now. A stick on the Xbox one controller is more than enough for an frc drivetrain. Our intake is embedded inside of our bot, it dosen't extend. Which means I have to align the intake opening with the boulder almost perfectly to pick it up. Which requires pretty good precision, or the ball will just hit the bumpers and roll away... I'm using a xbox one controller, yet I can pick up boulders without even slowing down (given they aren't against a wall), and our bot hits 25+ ft/sec. Just because some people can't do it, dosen't mean everybody can't.... and no, I'm not a "hardcore" gamer... I don't even use a controller for gaming....
