It's not a bot that defaults to pointing straight down the field, it's a bot that defaults to wheels pointing straight ahead. Our driver doesn't want to mess around with centering a pot when he wants to drive straight forward. He wants to let the springs in the stick find the center point for him & have the wheels snap to straight ahead without much effort or thought.
