Considering Steering Wheel Controls

After seeing steering wheel controls (with a joystick as a throttle) implemented on several robots this year, I thought that it would be an interesting offseason project to work on implementing these controls. So, I have a few questions for teams who use this setup:

1. Is this control scheme intuitive?

2. Have you ever used it with a holonomic drivetrain? Did it work well?

3. What steering wheel would you recommend?

4. Are there any programming challenges with this interface?

This would be interesting to me too: And if you are doing it what's your scheme for mapping the 2 degrees of freedom of wheel/pedal onto the 3 degrees of freedom of forward/sideways/turn? Was there some sort of additional input?
