Re: Joystick or Game Controller

Hmm... I can't say I see any bad sides to the controller as of yet. Although I do see bad sides to the joystick. From what I have experienced its just to sensitive, and bulky. Theres just way too much joystick to move and it can be intimidating when your driving the robot because you don't know if your moving the joystick too much or too little. I think it'll be fun driving with PC / gaming console controller. Also all the buttons for extra control are right there next to your thumbs, I think that will make for more efficiently driving. Soo... what's it you don't like about the controler? We already have ours but we haven't tested it yet so it might be worse than the joystick but I highly doubt it.
