Re: New Joysticks...Good or Bad Choice by FIRST?

I like the look of the new joystick, and it feels really cool in my right hand. It does not, however, work at all in the left hand, and considering how our primary driver is left-handed, that could prove to be a little bit more than a minor annoyance. >=/

I definitely agree with the idea of having a joystick with more buttons. After all, more buttons means more functions that the driver can handle by him/herself, instead of relying on a secondary driver to flip switches on request. And that means that the secondary driver can do more stuff, too. *grin*

But yeah, only getting a pair of right-handed joysticks seems to be a rather laughable lack of foresight... Didn't they think about that beforehand?
