Driving Practice

[logank013]

If possible, ask your programmer if they can program multiple types of joysticks. Our driver this year preferred using an xbox 360 controller for joysticks. Some drivers like the big joysticks used for things like airplane simulations. Also ask if you can have the style of joysticks programmed differently too. For instance, a normal tank drive can have different ways of driving it. Some prefer to have the left joystick control the left side front and back and the right joystick control the right side front and back. Our driver this year liked having the left joystick control front and back for both sides of the tank and liked having the right joystick control rotating clockwise and counterclockwise. Plus, it'd be a good little programming exercise.
