Re: Joysticks With Catalyst 2012

I didn't mean for full use because it's simulated, and obviously wouldn't be very accurate. It would be useful though to get used to how a robot would react to a certain amount of force on the joystick. It wouldn't be complete usage, so it may not actually be worth it to find a way to do this.

Also, there most likely will be teams doing almost as good, and probably even better than the simulator. There are many teams that know very well, not how to just play the game well and win, but to win the championships. This will involve thinking about things that the game may not exactly require. The key is to make a robot that is not only good, but has something that will make other teams want to pick it.

I can't wait to see the robots that beat of the simulation!
Its hard for me to imagine that but I don't know how amazing these top teams can be.

Re: Joysticks With Catalyst 2012

If you look at some of past years games at championships (after you've seen what the game is for that year) you'll see some of what i'm talking about. We'll be seeing teams there that can balance 3 robots with little problems, and shoot into the top basket from the center of the field.
