I'm just usually a stickler for the controls being very very intuitive
hence why in 2007 i built this

and i wasn't even the arm operator
I usually wanna know exactly what the robot is going to do when i give it an input, as any delays or mistakes can easily lose you a match
plus im a mechanical guy and a mechanical thinker so simple links between control movement and robot movement are a must for me.
