Re: Steering wheel
I'm glad this topic was posted. Although I really think that joysticks are the way to go, my students this year feel very stongly about using a steering wheel. Although we haven't purchased anything yet (we'll wait for kickoff in case there is a change in the OI), we have started discussions of how to program the thing. It does pose some intersting challenges for the programmers.
As far as manuverability, I think that joysticks give more options while turning (tight turn radius/0 turn radius and so on). On the other hand, if the driver never makes use of all of the options available and can effectively drive using the steering wheel, then by all means go for it.
