Re: Poll: What do you use to control your bot?!?!

Like many others, we've used the Logitech joysticks for years, as well as a Thrustmaster T.Flight Stick X. This year, when one of our logitech joysticks started to crap out on us, we looked around, and decided on the Mad Catz Cyborg, mainly because our driver for the past two years has been left handed, so we wanted something that could accommodate both hands as opposed to our Thrustmaster for last year. We weren't really concerned about the lack of buttons, as we generally prefer to make our own labeled control box using the TI Launchpad included in the kit. We've been fairly happy with the Mad Catz joystick, and we plan on 3D printing something to bolt in onto the driver station board, as it doesn't have much weight. The front gray portion of the joystick is removable by two little pins in the bottom, so we'll replace that with something boltable.
