Re: How are you going to operate you're robot?

We'll be using a 3 axis joystick for the drive. Left and right strafes, twisting the joystick rotates the robot.

For the arm, we'll have a rotary switch with 5 preset heights, floor, bottom, middle, top, and envelope (basically for when we are driving around so we can't get nabbed with appendage penalties. Gah the appendages!).

Then we'll have 3 analog joysticks for the wrist, base arm, and forearm, and a rocker switch for opening and closing the hand.
