Im really amused watching drivers in some matches, leaning into that joystick like they are pushing on the frame of the robot itself
COMEON GO! GO! GO!
Im surprized they dont snap in half :c)

No Kidding, in fact I am surprised most teams even use a joystick, most drivers I watch could get by with a 3 position switch, Full Fwd, Full Reverse, or stop. Our driver last year would continuously go back and forth full throttle on the sticks when he got excited, poor gearboxes!!!! Programmers can really help out here and extend the life of the drivetrain.
On a similar note, has anyone noticed you can't do a neutral drop on a car these days?? Not that I would ever try......
