Re: The best joystick?

Joy sticks are very nice to use, but the one thing that i have found out from driving FIRST robots and Combat robots, was that.....

A joystick is fairly hard to control becausae you use your entire arm, or wrist. It also can put unwanted strain.

One thing that works very well is a small gimble that is controlled by your thumb (I.E. A video game controller)

I can see why your team is uneasy about going with that technology, but if you have the time i would play around with it. It makes things a world easier.
