You gain the ability to have a zero turn radius, and turn really quickly. Anticipating lack of control even with a "normal" wheel configuration, I opted for a tighter center system. Programming can keep us straight. I have faith in them . Additionally, we can just turn down the sensitivity of the joysticks until they reach 50% of their total travel, allowing finesse, while still maintaining your ability to react quickly.
