The thing is that there's nothing wrong with using a controller to move the sub, hell there's not even really anything wrong with using a third party one although I'm not sure why you would besides cheapness. The real issue with the Titan was that the remote was only wireless, so if the thing ran out of batteries mid-dive you're just hosed. I'd also imagine that on an old enough controller like the one they were using there would be noticeable input latency vs a wired controller that's probably not desirable.

I'd also imagine that on an old enough controller like the one they were using there would be noticeable input latency vs a wired controller that's probably not desirable. plenty of reasons you don't use that controller and I'm going to ignore batteries and wireless 1.) unlabeled buttons. he wanted it to be simple I guess. 2.) stick drift on all those cheap pot designs. (been waiting years to say this) 3.) no deadman switch if the user were to be pressing button without thinking or holding it against themselves while distracted, or in case it wedges itself in a way which activates controls 4.) is more susceptible than something ruggedized to electrical shorts / physical issues which may send a button pressed signal when it is not pressed 5.) not waterproof in a sea vessel 6.) easily broken by falling in the right way 7.) no redundant safety controller which normally is held by a 2nd operator, a remote safety stop 8.) no emergency buttons, meaning offloading critical functions to pc to make it simply about driving the sub, or they simply weren't there at all. in the case of stuck thrusters etc. what if the drat thing is rotating around and you're tumbling

They specifically don't use a normal type of boat to transport or load the craft, so that just adds many more points of failure there.

ethanol posted:its pretty simple actually when its easy to design something so it can't happen instead of saying that will never happen Based on the video where he was talking about that controller, there's five of the controllers on the ship that they can swap out of something's wrong with the controller, and from his description it sounds like it was only used for the thrusters, such as the sticks themselves, also they were using the wireless connection. In any case I don't know why everybody is so up in arms about them using a controller when it was easily the least worst part of that entire design. Hell even the military uses Xbox 360 controllers to control their flying drones, they've talked about them using those all the goddamn time
