Couldn't you use a keyboard (or a PC game controller if he's used them)?

Just a thought, have you seen the people that play video games by moving the controller even though it doesn't do anything? Can you say control board to the floor?

I do that all the time. Thats why there's a Wii.

It would be cool to have a force feedback joystick, then add an accelerometer on your robot and when you run into things it rumbles.. that would be interesting

Re: Creative uses for the USB Port

Would a DualShock Controller (the ps2 ones) count as a powered controller? I mean, it has that light in the center and the rumble feature. Also, if you look on the plug that goes into the console, there's a tiny metal contact on the top.

What do you think?

Re: Creative uses for the USB Port

but that completely defeats the "wireless" idea. My point was that anything corded could casue you to pull your control board off of the shelf, and it would also give you the ability to step outside the driver's box. penalty?
