Right now, we use a 2 axis joystick for the movement/strafing and another joystick for rotating around the central axis of the robot. As for a pot, we used the MA3 from usDigital. I caution you about being presumptious over programming/driving though. Make sure it will not tear your team apart if one person fills these two critical roles. Again, I must reccomend spending one year mastering a 6wd. You will make some mistakes, and the knowledge gained will help even more when you go to make a swerve. For my team, mechanical issues were the problem in the end, not the software. Make sure you don't forget either or else you will have a very expensive paperwieght come competition.
