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

For the main driver, we're using one joystick drive, with a kill switch to disable motors, a manual override to kill sensor assitance, a ramp deploy switch, and an extra switch either for raising ramps or for using the camera in manual mode.

For the arm guy, we're using a joystick for arm angle adjustment, the hat switch for claw angle adjustment, 5 automatic arm position buttons, 1 switch to switch which side of our robot the automatic buttons work for, an abort button to cancel auto arm movements, a switch to turn the compressor on/off, a button for our elevator, and then 2 buttons on the joystick for claw and extension control.

Plus we've got 4 indicator LEDs.

All in all we're using 4 analog inputs, 13 digital inputs, and 4 LEDs.
