Our control panel has changed from my previous post. Me and TdorTheBnator built one with four joysticks. Two for the driver and two for the operator.

Says "Ah, that was easy..."????

2 Xbox 360 controllers - found that using thumbs is much faster than using whole arms w/ joysticks (less movement).

No actually, allot of teams have Staples buttons, ours just eliminates all the other bots on the field with laser technology. Or it shuts off the suction cup and motors and drops the lift, either or.

Re: How are you going to operate you're robot?
Driver has option of 2 joy or 1 joy mode, along with change of view (reverse what is front, what is back). The arm is controlled by 4 buttons and a switch... the code takes care of pretty much everything.

We're still having issues with some P and PID loops, so hopefully we'll get those fixed at the competition.

There's no finer engineering than pit engineering.

Re: How are you going to operate you're robot?
We have an xbox controller for our driving & a combination for ramp deployment.

We built a model of our arm with potentiometers to control our arm.
