Sticks, even control sticks, are simple and highly developed. They are not an argument against use and your attitude against a control stick is absurd. No matter what alternative you come up with for control, it will always come down to a stick or wheel.
I have nothing against sticks, I just think that if you use the same type of control on this thing that is used on a motorized scooter, it's not going to work out well. Which is my biggest problem with this thing, I just don't think it would work out well. Yes, I know mobility can give troops a huge advantage, yes I know that something that could give troops the advantages that you guys are listing would be great, I just don't think that this is the product that could give them that advantage. And to be totally honest, I can't think of anything that would give them that advantage that would satisfy all the complaints I have about this thing.
