Fret not, you can get this done super fast, I have put together robot controls in as little as a few hours.

If you stick with a simple piece of wood or lexan, and velcro down the joysticks you can do it all without any cusotm wiring and get by with a few joysticks and the OI. Just attach the radio modem, hook up all the wires, make sure the code works with the controls, and VWAHLA! super awesome, yet simple control system. You can always tweak it later, and make it look awesome or add custom controls later, but it never hurts to start with the basics.
