Re: Favorite Joystick Setup? We're new
We have always (past four years) controlled the drive base with two old style CH Flightstick joysticks. The old style CH flightsticks are my favorite and what I think is the best joystick ever made, at least for our purposes. Then we have driven arms with two or three more joysticks. Yes, last year we had 5 joysticks. It was a little rediculous but it worked well. Many teams do use butons, switches, and knobs for their arms/mechanisms.
