What you guys have done is exactly what I REALLY wish for our Team to try and pursue! Most-likely not this year, and perhaps not even in 2013...
I am going to approach this a bit differently... where the driver presentation is the very first thing we are going to get nailed down... if it cannot feel exactly like I want it then we shouldn't bother making it. In short I submit an idea that most people will not believe... here it is... I believe you can make it feel like a tank arcade drive (or even tank steering), with strafe.
There is one other idea I want to throw out... and that is the fear of failure hurts new innovation. I am prepared for the risk of failure with this driver presentation and I am not afraid... I know it is something I MUST pursue... it is like a calling that I cannot ignore.
You have accomplished and learned more in the past six weeks than...a majority of people in the country. Be proud of your machine. Don't kick it to the gutter. Stand behind it. Believe in it. Give it your all. Take pride in your robot. :) - sanddrag [more]
