It depends on how you program it or set/position the joysticks. Normally, for a single joystick, you'd tilt the stick diagonally (like what CyberWolf said). For a throttle and joystick you'd turn the steering wheel to wherever it was programmed to only drive one side (I'm guessing about 1/2 the way to max turn).
I've used single, double joysticks, as well as a steering wheel and throttle. IMO, two joysticks are my favorite, I seem to have better reaction times and control with it. Team 254 uses a steering wheel and throttle to control their robot, they say its much easier to control a fast moving robot with a steering wheel and throttle vs. one/two joysticks.
