Re: Control System

Usually the joysticks provide much better control if you take the handle off and mount it inside a box, so just the short lever sticks up.

We're planning on using a gutted R/C car controller (2" diameter steering wheel and trigger throttle) for driving and a simple small box with buttons for ball control, both will be on 5 foot long cables. Yesterday's joke was that we'll just put everything in a cardboard box. That probably won't happen though.
