Re: How are you going to operate you're robot?

my plan, though it wasn't thought of highly by fellow team-members(COUGH-luke-COUGH), i thought it was very interesting.

somehow attach bricks to the underside of the flightsticks and hold the controllers in the air. say you're driving a tank with two joysticks. when you want to go forward, simply move the sticks so they're at an angle to the pull of gravity (the ground). the bricks will keep the bottom parts of the joysticks parallel to the ground and you're robot will ultimately go forward.

the only problem is that your arms would get tired.
and it's just not practical, cool, but not practical.
