Re: one control stick or two?

I'm inclined to agree. 1293 had one stick this year for driving, and BOY was it a pain in the wazoo to get that joystick to center! We couldn't get the darn thing still in both axes for quite a while, then had to remember which joystick was which when we plugged it up, since our arm controller was calibrated differently.

Your mileage, however, may vary.

<edit>I should point out that 1293's setup was the classis skid-steer setup, with shopping cart-ish casters on the other wheels.</edit>
