making a duel driver system

Those gamepads PriyankP first mentioned are the same gamepads used to control the robot in FTC. They are useful for operation of the robot's features, but watch out for the analog sticks of the gamepads, they hardly ever cause the robot to stay still. The robot still creeps slowly when they become released so for the robot to really stop moving that needs to be programmed by creating a "dead zone".

If that's a problem for you then you should buy new ones, our game pads from 2009 are doing the same thing. The ones that we purchased this year do that only when you really try to get them stuck close to 0, but even then the number is something insignificant like 0.0488..

There's no sense in buying new equipment when you can fix it with code, especially if money's tight for a team.
