Controller Ideas??

[Gray Adams]

Some high quality joysticks would be nice. We've used Xbox 360 in the past, but the extra throw of a larger joystick gives you more intermediate speed control. This became apparent very quickly when trying to balance our practice bridge last year, so we switched to the Logitech Attack 3s. Not exactly great joysticks, and they caused our motors to keep running (very slowly, more of just a high pitched whine that didn't make the bot go anywhere) a few times because the deadzone wasn't big enough, but good enough when you're too busy with other things.

I've only gotten to use the flight sticks once or twice, but they seemed like a very good candidate.
