Go to Post Do you guys mind if we postpone kick-off to around January 26 or so? We can still keep the ship date on February 20, if that isn't a problem. - dlavery [more]

Re: Tips for first-year programmers

Over the years we've used a number of different controllers. And every year, I have the programming team sit down with the drivers to work out how they want to control the robot. We test drive with xbox and joysticks, and even one year a steering wheel.

We tend to always end up with joysticks for tank driving, and an xbox controller for co-pilot operations. The single xbox controller gives us a lot of flexibility with regards to buttons, and just ease of use for the co-pilot.
