It really doesn't need much processing power or memory at all to simply relay joystick commands. It practically works out of the box if you use the correct Shield. The Andy-Mark link gets you all the parts you need to make one work, you'll just have to go through the setup which can be a little tricky if you aren't familiar with Arduino.
Here is a very bizarre and silly proof of concept video our head mentor put together after fiddling around with a custom Arduino solution:

After that we got a couple students involved in the project and it really took off.
Later we got a video up of the "hacked-up sad control system" running our 2013 robot shell:
