Putting more functions on the bot should not make the driver's job more difficult.
A good programmer should be able to make nice interface from a simple 3-axis joystick. Push forward to go forward, push sideways to go sideways, rotate it to turn. Bonus points for using the gyro to make directions relative to the driver rather than the bot. (Careful, though, you may have to buy a faster gyro - the KOP gyro maxes out at 80 degrees/second. Found that out the hard way.)
