Two joystick tank drive vs one stick arcade drive

[AllenGregoryIV]

Anyone that can figure out how to get some variant of Cheesy Drive/Halo Drive working and have their drivers trained with it should do it. We switched to it last year and we will never go back. You'll see a much more smooth motion from your robot once your driver stops trying to turn in place all the time. Even a poorly tuned version of cheesy drive just looks better and can arc around corners much easier. I know some drivers who can get similar motions out of a tank drive robot but it is far more difficult in my opinion.

Also I highly recommend avoiding single stick arcade, since it will make your driver prone to unintentionally arcing the robot because it's hard to keep the stick perfectly straight.
