Heya!
We seem to have gotten two right joysticks in our kit o' parts. Anyone else had this problem?

We got two right joysticks too. WHY?

[KenWittlief]

Didnt know there was such a thing,... isnt that like a left-handed screwdriver

[Evil_Warlord_42]

If we don't find someone closer to us to trade off joysticks, would your team agree to a joystick custody switch?

fortunately, both of our drivers have two left hands - and no fingers!

(they are all thumbs!)

Let's be serious here.

The joysticks (at least the ones we got from FIRST) are formed to fit the right hand. There are special features to the joystick (extra buttons placed around the stick), that would only be accessible if you use your right hand on the joystick.

Obviously, if you are a left-handed person, using this joystick is going to be a disadvantage to you.

As far as I know, only right-handed joysticks were sent with the kit. If you need a left handed stick, you will either need to special order it, or purchase a hand-neutral stick.

Here is a URL where you can see what the new joystick looks like:

According the the kit PDF, this is the stick that everyone is getting.

Being a driver, the notion of driving with two of those rather than the plain neutral joysticks doesnt seem too appealing.
