Our team had thought of this as well, on the topic of intuitive control, but it was decided that the good old joystick shall suffice just fine.
We also passed around the idea for stability/autonomous of using the Nunchuck on the robot with the handy I2C port on the DSC. This idea also faltered, as we came to the conclusion that we do not need that type of sensor inputs for our automagic functions this year.
Well done Wildstang, that's really neat!
