Re: Unique ways of controlling your robot (driving)
We have switched between 1 and 2 several times:
2002 - 1
2003 - 2
2004 - 1
2005 - 1
2006 - 2
2007 - 2
2008 - 2 and Steering Wheel
We really liked the way it worked this year, we tried 1 with steering wheel, but you have more control we feel with 2 joysticks, so one driver had the steering wheel and other had the 2 joysticks. They really had to communicate well, which they did. The steering wheel was used mainly to help get out tight places and to turn left sharper, in both cases it proved to be the best solution for our particular bot as we consistently would get 5-7+ laps after the auto period.
