I can speak as a veteran member of the Truck Town Terror (#68) team, there is no good way that we have found. We run into the same problem amost every time we run our robot.

: 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?
