They are the wired version. We took out the USB cable and replaced it with a custom cable for all the analog and digital I/O. Using the 360 controllers gives us 6 analog and 12 digital inputs to the Operator Interface per controller. Being able to use standard 360 controllers with a Windows PC is a big plus because we can use the same controller to run our robot simulator.
