Unique ways of controlling your robot (driving)

The 2008 competition is mine and my team's rookie year. This year I was the sole student programmer with about no experience with programming. I received tons of help from my mentors and I was able to help program the robot with their assistence. Because of this a lot of the time I was doing things on my own and I did a lot of experimenting.

With my mentors, we came up with quite a few ways of driving the bot. I won't share the code right away (I need to get it first), but would anyone like to share and explain their methods of controlling the driving of the robot? I'm really curious what you guys did.

These are the things we tried (I'll share the code when I get it)...

1. Double Joystick: very hard to control. We tried a lot to make it more controlable, but it never worked out well.

2. Single Joystick 1: One speed, 4 ways of moving robot. Push the joystick up and it moves forward. Push it down it moves backwards. Left it turns a bit left and right it turns a bit right.

3. Other single joystick controlls: We made a few other single joystick control systems. One we used in the competition.

I apologize in advance if broke some sort of rule
