316 loves them so much, we have THREE joysticks.

Everyone who doesn't use joysticks is obviously inferior.

Judging by my red bar, Poe's law is in full effect here. I have nothing against gamepads. our team actually uses one. i made this thread as a joke after seeing the "wheeled robot club" but obviously it is too subtle. in hindsight, i realize this has the potential to be misinterpreted. I am sorry to anyone I offended

I know right? They're even referred to as joysticks in code and control systems.

I'd be more interested in a seeing if there's a team out there that didn't use joysticks of some sort.

MARS reporting in with 4 joysticks conviently stuck together in sets of 2.

Also I think 16's 2011 robot drove with a steering wheel.

159 joins with 2 sets of 1.

159 actually joins with one set of two. Separated by a computer, and each operated by a different person.

We've been using the same Joysticks from our 2010 Rookie Kit every year now, but next year we're switching it up and having an operator for once.

Of course the driver will use the Tank Drive set-up Joysticks. The operator uses an AfterGlow 360 Gamepad, and we also use the Gamepad for testing components.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the Joysticks are Velcro taped to a plank of wood that our one programming/drive computer loosely sits on. Low budget!
