Could use some help with joysticks . . .

Student on team #112, Gear Grinders, from Buffalo Grove HS and Motorola.



As a team, we have had problems with the joysticks for the past 2 years (since we've existed ). They keep wanting to 're-calibrate' themselves, i.e. the center, and extreme values vary from use to use. To combat this effect we have tried duct tape on the trims and adding buffer regions in software for a 'neutral zone' in the center of the joysticks' axes. Can any other veteran teams give us a hand in telling us a better method for this?
