Re: Steering wheel

Team 1403 began using the steering wheel after Atlanta and we are very happy with the outcome. We are able to maneuver very quickly with the wheel, and we are able to make more precise movements with the wheel. I noticed teams like 254, whose driver is so quick with the steering wheel, dazzle us with their driving skills. I have also seen many teams who use joysticks who can do the same thing. But like some have already mentioned, it really comes down to what the driver is comfortable with on the field.


I will try to find the brand of steering wheel that we use. It turns out that the steering wheel we have already has a serial port. After a little bit of tweaking, we were able to make the wheel function exactly how we wanted it to.
