Go to Post A well-working FIRST robot can be charismatic. People are attracted to it. Teams rally behind it. Little kids stare with wide eyes. Relatives say to their friends "look at what my niece helped invent". This is an awesome thing. - Andy Baker [more]

Re: one control stick or two?

I would guess it depends on the type of drive you use, speeds, straight tank drive vs. omni wheels, etc. I've driven primarily on dual stick on a 4 wheel tank drive, and prefer it in the sense that it gives you control of one side of the robot independently of the other. This can come in handy in a number of ways, especially when lining up for a precise task, or in a shoving match- it's nice to give more power to the side needing more force. The times I've downloaded the single stick drive for testing, I found the controls a little more intuitive, but I preferred having control over the individual drive sides.
