For instance, do you prefer tank drive, arcade drive, or a combination of each. What are the benefits or disadvantages to this style?
For myself, I prefer arcade drive as I feel you can easily transition from a turn to going straight easily or visa versa. On the downside you don’t have as much freedom of movement compared to a tank drive.
I’m not our main driver, but as a programmer I prefer arcade drive to test things a bit easier. Plus, my driver prefers it, too. I believe it is a great universal drive style that is easy to adapt to while tank might be slightly confusing for starters.
I prefer tank drive right now because it makes sense to me but If I were to become a driver, I would probably force myself to learn arcade because it makes more sense when trying to go a little to the right and forward. I’ve also heard that most console gamers like arcade drive because they’ve already practiced it a lot.
I prefer arcade controls because I feel that it allows for more precise control of your turning. In practice, I doubt that there’s an advantage to either method. Neither one should be more effective than the other if you get enough practice.
Yay I mixed up the polls by voting for tank drive
I really do prefer tank drive and my driver does too. I guess it just seems a lot simpler to both of us as far as the mechanics of it go
I’ve grown accustomed to using arcade control, and I am much better at driving with that; however, I have used tank control, and with practice I could definitely get to the same level as arcade. Last year 3946W used Forza controls where the bumpers moved the robot. It really doesn’t make a difference; it’s all down to what the driver likes.
