Good Control Ideas

For the Sacramento Regionals we devised a system that included a few unorthodox forms of control.

For the drive train we use a cheap video-game attack throttle and a steering wheel. This provides excellent control for the primary driver. For our team, our arm decided not to work midway through the regional so we decided to become a defensive bot. THESE ARE EXCELLENT CONTROLS FOR A DEFENSIVE BOT.

I would recomend an attempt at these controls for every team. They are way better than the tank drive with two joysticks.
