Re: single stick drive
Three years I drove single stick drive. For any new teams, or teams trying to decide I would suggest going with single stick for the two main reasons of having the free hand for other functions, and the simplicity of moving the joystick the way you want the robot moved.

In 2002 due to the direction I was going to run our tandem. My stick was in opposite quandrants as the standerd. (Ex: 6:00 - was full forward). Also, we used a similar set-up for our arms in 2001 on the joystick. Anyone who is used to flight simulators would be much more familiar with such settings.
