The Partner Joystick allows users to have a partner joystick, but without the added VEXnet components. What does this mean for you? It means you get the same functions such as giving two drivers control of a robot, at a lower cost!
The joystick has the same layout as the VEXnet joystick:
- (2) X-Y Analog Joysticks
- (8) Top Buttons
- (4) Back Buttons
Overview
To control a single robot with a main driver using a VEXnet Joystick and a secondary driver using a Partner Joystick, simply connect the two joysticks together by running a standard telephone handset cable between their Partner ports. For tethered control, connect the “MCU” port on the top of your Partner Joystick to the “RX1” port on your VEX Microcontroller with a standard telephone handset cable.
