Re: Tank or arcade drive?

Call me crazy, but every year I always insist my driver candidates try "Kaj Drive"

It's similar to Arcade drive, but the Y-axis and X-axis are split respectively onto the left and right thumbsticks on a Logitech Gamepad.

Left thumb controls forward and reverse.

Right thumb controls rotation.

Given how important "driving straight" is when driving up a bridge... you may want to consider this layout over tank. Tank drive is notoriously difficult for driving in straight lines.
