Drivers Control

[Samwaldo]

This thread is to find out what teams use to drive their robot (1-2 Logitech Joysticks, Xbox controller, Logitech Gamepad, custom controller, wheel, Etc.) and how you use them.
For competitions I also am curious about a steering wheel. In 2013, at the Boston Regional, I saw team 846 use a driving wheel to drive the robot. To ANY team that uses this kind of setup please explain how it works.


My team in 2011 used one Logitech joystick to drive mecanum and another for the arm

in 2012 we used 2 Logitech joysticks for tank drive and a custom controller (basically a box with 10 arcade styles buttons) for shooter/pickup/weight movement

in 2013 we used 2 Logitech joysticks for tank drive and a Logitech game pad for shooter/pickup

As the driver for the past 2 years I am curious about other set ups and controllers that can allow me to control the robot better, faster, more accurate, etc.
