Joystick problems

Other on team #524, Alpha Omega Robotics, from South High School.



Has any other team has problems with their joysticks?

We used the stock CH flightstick controllers, and we had nothing but difficulties with them.

Out of the three joysticks we had after the second week, two of them experienced a strong tendency to jump all the way to 255 (full ahead) when pulled all the way to the rear(which should be 0).

When this happened under load, our robot went full reverse, then full foreward in the space if about a half second, shearing the 1/8" pins holding the couplers to the drive shaft.

we had to replace a joystick when we got to the competetion, because of corrosion from the condensation in the box.

Did anyone else have similar problems?
