Joysticks or Xbox Controller? #15

Closed rhauch closed 10 years ago

rhauch commented 10 years ago

We should decide whether we want to use the Logitech Extreme Pro 3 joystick and Logitech Attack 3 joystick. The Extreme is right-hand-only, while the Attach is ambidextrous (could be used for left-hand).

If we're not comfortable with using the two dissimilar joysticks for tank drive, then should we plan on using arcade drive with our 2 kit joysticks or consider buying another Logitech Attack 3 (priced roughly at $15) so we have two identical joysticks?

Can we rule out using the Xbox controller for driving?

For $15 I would definitely buy another. I think having two different ones will be a problem (IMHO).

Students definitely want to use the joysticks, and they think arcade drive will be better. So we should be good with the joysticks we have.
