I ordered chicklets on day one because my team was planning on hard wiring the xbox controller anyway, and this allowed us to use unmodified controllers which saves a lot of time, and also allows the process of finding a spare at a regional much easier.

All the kids on our team unanimously agreed that an xbox controller is more familiar to them than joysticks; The freedom of movement Mike mentioned would also be very beneficial. I figure if people can be uber snipers in Halo 2 and Call of Duty with it, why can't we drive a robot with it.

Also, if you have nothing positive to say about something Mike put so much hard work into (thank you mike, you allowed our electronics to spend time pursuing higher goals, rather than hours of repetitive yet easy soldering) then I ask you to simply stop posting in this thread.

Another thing that bothered me a little bit. They don't use joysticks to control autonomous planes; They wouldn't be autonomous then.

So is there even a way to use the xbox360 controller to control our robot? cuz we in our class have been talking about it for a while...
