Under H-pattern control, which statement correctly describes joystick control?

• A. Left joystick controls the left wheels; the right joystick controls the right wheels
• B. Left joystick controls the left wheels; the right joystick controls the left wheels
• C. Each joystick controls both wheels concurrently
• D. Joysticks control no wheels; pedals do

Answer: (A)

In H-pattern control, each joystick is tied to its own side of the machine. The left joystick moves the left wheels, and the right joystick moves the right wheels. Pushing a joystick forward drives that side forward, pulling it back drives it in reverse, and varying both sides lets you go straight or pivot. The other options don’t fit because they either suggest one joystick controls both sides, imply no wheel control from joysticks, or say pedals handle the driving.
