Re: Favorite Joystick Setup? We're new

if you're tank steering use two sticks. it allows the best control and adjustability.

for arm stuff we always use a combination of sticks buttons and potentiometers.....sometimes we build arm models which provide control for our arm on the field.

in your post it sounded like you think you can only use two sticks. the operator interface is designed so that teams can build custom controls. teams have even controlled their robot with a backpack mounted cyborg style arm thingy.

look through the gallery for control setups and ideas.
