Exactly! It is actually quite simple. We have identical pots on the robot and on the controller. They are positioned identically and calibrated. Now all the driver has to do is look at the robot and the feel of the control arm is the same as what he is seeing. Positioning the arm becomes intuitive at that point.
BTW, it is a polycarbonate rod with a PVC ring on the end for convenience.

Please understand that teams run things differently for specific and very valid reasons. And, this is OK as long as the students are inspired.
