In most video games with an xbox controller the left stick controls turning and direction and the right controls your view. (Like which way you are looking)
I am a big forza fan and other fps games. Forza drives with the triggers controlling forward and brake and reverse. Left is reverse/break, and right is forward. The left joystick controls turning and the right stick is generally not used much, because if you are doing manual transmission you must use x and b for shifting. In Halo it is pretty much the same with the right stick being used to control where u look.
I personally am going to drive with an xbox controller if the proggramers will let me. (We have no previous experience with one) I would like to merge both forza and halo and us the two triggers to drive and control speed. (Forward and reverse are only on the triggers) and then use the left stick for turning. Then the right joystick would be used to control all driving. (Forward, backwards, turn left, turn right) When used though the robot would only run at 25-50% speed, while all other drive controls are then not used during that time. The low speed would allow for fine movements without worry of over correcting or accelerating too fast when you are in a crammed place.
