When I first saw 357 strafe, I was driving in a match in Philly, and I don't know if they were on our alliance or the other, but I was amazed. Especially since how it worked wasn't immediately visible. I had a look later, and loved what I saw. Very nice job guys.

As for control's why not go for a keyboard and a joystick? make the keyboard be WASD, for strafing and forwards/backwards, and joystick for turning. A mouse would be even cooler, but a bit harder to implement. Would be neat to see...
I mean it works for First person shooter's, why not a robot
