Love the catapult, love the swerve, heck... love everything

What is your control layout? We tried swerve last year but had difficulties creating an intuitive control system.

If you mean OI: we use a steering wheel and single joystick. The joystick buttons change modes. Not sure if it is intuitive - it is what our current driver prefers. There are about 8 modes this year...he may not prefer it after that!

That's what happened to us last year. Too many modes.

As for a steering wheel, that's a good idea. Thanks.

Good luck this year

That your driver has a strong preference is very promising. Some kids are just born to be fighter pilots .

Nice 'bot!
