Re: Robot Controller

Perhaps you're referring to the Operator Interface?

If so, I have to say that pictures seem scarce. Most folks seem to have a board with one to four joysticks and sometimes a box of switches. (Others simply suction cup down the joysticks to the shelf and go.)

I have to say that 180's box, while odd-looking, did seem to have the most function built into it. (Then again, when you're running omniwheels, you kinda have to have functions built into the OI.)

On the other hand, don't overbuild. You don't want your driver to wonder in the middle of the match whether holding down the shift switch while toggling the grabber will launch your hook.
