Re: one control stick or two?
I would guess it depends on the type of drive you use, speeds, straight tank drive vs. omni wheels, etc. I've driven primarily on dual stick on a 4 wheel tank drive, and prefer it in the sense that it gives you control of one side of the robot independently of the other. This can come in handy in a number of ways, especially when lining up for a precise task, or in a shoving match- it's nice to give more power to the side needing more force. The times I've downloaded the single stick drive for testing, I found the controls a little more intuitive, but I preferred having control over the individual drive sides.
