We originally had one joystick steering, and a little control box with a switch for high/low gear, a switch for fwd/rev driving, a switch to turn on the fiberglass roller, a pot to control the speed of the roller, a switch for the Sickle of Death, and a switch for the side arms.

But, a few minutes before our first practice run at J&J, the drivers told me to change it to two joystick steering, so that's what it is now. Later in the competition, our limit switches that detect high/low gear malfunctioned, and the robot, thinking that it was in neutral, started turning to the left (that's what I've programmed it to do when it's in neutral). So I converted the roller switch to a shift-override switch.
