but the problem is since this year there is fast transmissions, The problem with white is it does not turn properly and plus its touch senstive, even witha light touch, the robots runs very fast.

PS:Is there someone who might not be using theirs would lend it to us?

They are a pretty coveted item. I am not sure how many teams have ones that they are not using. Why dont you try to write some code so that they are less sensitive around the starting point.

I've drooled over the black sticks ever since i saw another team use them last year. besides the appropriate amount of sensitivity, they were ambidextrous. This made them perfect for tank driving. Two right-handed sticks are just plain awkward. You can go out and get Saitek sticks that are ambidextrous, but they are USB and you need to plunk down the cash for the chicklet. Maybe they can fix this with the new Controller i've heard about.

The CH Flightsticks were included in the KOP until 2004 when they changed over to the new (yuck) white things due to the new model CH Flightsticks being USB. The old ones seem to have a nice feel to them. I have found that they come up on ebay once in a while and from what I have heard, they are relatively easy to repair.

The black ones were actually only in the kits for about 3 years, before that they were grey.

Also remember that certain "touchy" controls can be resolved through the control software.
