We probably will need that. I was thinking that the keyboard would control the robot functions, and that the arrow keys alone would move the robot. I was thinking of using an acceleration curve, where the longer the arrow key is held down, the faster the robot would go, but it would eventually level out. This is like the system used in car racing games.
