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!
