Depending on how much rotation you have in the system (the pot is the first limiting factor, the mechanical limits are the other), you may be able to do car steering by looking at it from a different perspective. If you treat the left or right side as the front of the robot and add a little trickery in the software, you could have the car steering while driving in the narrow orientation. It obviously all depends on the game and the way the robot is designed, but it's something that you could throw in your bag of tricks.
