Re: What do you use to control your robot?
We use two joysticks to drive all of our robots (all tank style, one weird scheme for the crab drive bot we have). We started with that scheme way back when, and we've since just kept with it. The operator (co-pilot, gunner, whatever you call it) usually uses a joystick plus an additional joystick and/or a custom control box. It lets us use the same control board every year, and we can control a number of robots without changing anything but the occasional USB peripheral.
