: Is it true that we can use whatever type of controller we would like for our robot? I heard this from somewhere, and I just want to make sure it's true.
: Thanks in advance...
umm, when they say any type of controller, they mean any kind of PC COMPATIBLE joystick. good luck trying a WIDE range of stuff. you can use gamepads, joysticks (even force feedback...but double check with first), and even steering wheels and pedals.
they take some playing around with.
also, you can make your own from scratch....! make some aluminum, plexiglass (see through control sys!), or whatever else you can dream of...
good luck. (and always always check the rules.)
