We are a rookie team and I am the only one that has ever done first so im trying to convince them that my idea is the best. Any thoughts?
Tank drive (having one joystick control each side) is the most popular system in FIRST. It's simple, the driver practically doesn't have to think (well, he does, but it's more intuitive.) Having one control speed and the other turning--just use a steering wheel if you can find one that interfaces with the RC; or just use one joystick. The problem with this system is it's very hard to turn fast, unlike two sticks. If you must use an x and y system, use one stick, but two joysticks is preferred.
