How fast is the reaction time of your driver on the dance pad compared to a driver using joysticks or a game pad?

ofcourse we will using another device. we will use the regular logitech jostick in order to controll the speed,turning and all the movings of the robot. the dance pad will be only for the second driver - for shooting balls,get on the tower,tip other robots ect.

All of my previous statements (save the one about turning) still apply. You're going to want to really consider if this is the most effective method of controlling your robot.

Keep in mind the reaction speed of your foot stomping is significantly (half a second) slower than similar operations with your hand. To quote Dean, "this is probably important!"

Idan! I can't believed you exposed our top secret weapon to the world! XD
Anyway, after you went home, we did some tests - and it works! XD
Not as good as we hoped but it can be improved, right after we fix all the connectivity problems we encountered after that ><".

For the others, i guess we'll be using the good all joysticks. the DDR is just an experiment for fun... hopefully, we'll post some photos/videos soon

and Idan... shushhh, you'll might expose our *you know what* if you won't choose your words carefully around here... ;].
