Controls for Driving Robot (Tank Drive)

I'm curious to see how other teams control the drive train of their robot(tank drive). Do you use a Logitech to control the wheels from each side independently. Do you use some other way? In my team we use a thrustmaster joystick.

Re: Controls for Driving Robot (Tank Drive)

3525 uses two Logitech Attack 3s (though we may switch to Extreme 3D Pros) to control each side of the robot, though our robot is programmed to switch drive modes. I.e. the left joystick can be switched to operate the entire robot in arcade drive with a button press.
