Re: Which controler for driving mecnum?

We did mecanum drive on an off-season project once. We used a Logitech Dual Action controller (an older version of the F310, and basically equivalent to it).

The control scheme we used was:
Left stick y-axis: speed forward/backward
Left stick x-axis: strafe left/right
Right stick x-axis: rotate left/right

In other words, we used RobotDrive::MecanumDrive_Cartesian (in WPILib), with LeftY, LeftX and RightX for the x, y and rotation arguments. So it's the simplest/laziest control scheme, but it seemed to work well, and it's intuitive for the driver.

I'm curious to see what controls teams with more mecanum experience prefer.
