edit: also, what control interface was Cheesydrive originally intended for?

The current iteration of the "Cheesy Drive" system was developed in 2010 for both the two stick setup (which we have used recently) and the wheel setup (which 971 has used). The code development was driven by Austin Schuh, mentor for both 254 & 971 and 971's drive coach.

A lot of it is driver preference. From 2004-2008 we used a wheel and from 2009-present we have used two joysticks. I don't exactly remember the reason we switched. I find the two stick setup more intuitive but that's just me.
