when you are driving, whatever setup you are using to control the bot, you should have enough practice so you are not thinking about where the joysticks are, or what each motor is doing

you should be able to make the bot go where you want intuitively, like riding a bike, or running (you dont think "left foot, right foot, left foot...." when you run)

the biggest control advantage of using only one stick is going straight forward. Its difficult to move two joysticks forward exactly the same amount at the same time, but with one stick its easy.
