Re: steering wheel ???????
There are lots of ways to get a steering wheel to control your robot....we got an older version of this

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXASX2**&P=0

and took out the transmitter board, wired the steering/throttle pots to the OI, and now have an easy way to drive last year's 6WD robot. It did take some work to get the shaft encoders programmed, and some soldering to connect the wires. So you'll learn a lot if you try to do it this way.

but it sure is easy to drive..and you can hold the whole thing in your hand, and easily pull the throttle (it has reverse too, just push the trigger away from you)
