We split the responsibility of operating the robot between two people, a driver and an operator. The driver controls the robot's placement on the field and the speed of the drive while the operator is responsible for any appendages.I was the driver for my team in the 2005 season. I also drove the robot at the 2004-2005 IRI. I have driven with both single and double joystick controls. Personally, I fell more confident with two joysticks. Many people have said that two joysticks are easier to control for the experienced driver. I suggest that if your team plans on rotating drivers during the season that you use single stick controls. However, if you have enough time during the build season to practice driving, go with a two stick drive.
