Re: How the heck do you use an XBOX360 controller with the chicklet??

Hey, we are not playing GTA 4 here, we are DRIVING A ROBOT! If your game controller was SOOOO hot, then why wouldn't the military use it in a tank? Oh yeah, maybe a 1 millimeter thumb movement is not stable enough to drive $60 million worth of equipment? Or how bout why they don't use it in controlling autonomous planes? Hmmm, looks like they use joysticks too.

"Woops my thumb slipped and I dropped the floatie" will be common words.

I have grown up with game controllers, me and 95% of our team agrees that a joystick is far superior to a game controller. Like I said before, the game controller was designed to emulate a real joystick, so just use the joystick and stop thinking you are playing a video game.
