Re: single stick drive

We used single stick drive last year. I was the programmer and driver so I chose it because it's what I am used to (after playing video games) and it freed up my other hand to operate another function. While demoing the bot at state fair I tried another team's robot which used tank drive. After trying both I'd have to say that neither one is easier nor harder, neither one is better. Anything that can be done with one can be done with the other. It's just a driver preference thing. It's easy to program both ways so just try them and see what the driver likes and can do the most with.
