I actually disagree here.

I've wasted too much of my life accumulating too many level 50's in Halo 2/3 (Glad I'm done with that...), and used a 360 controller to drive 294's 2007 robot. It worked, I THOUGHT I liked it; During practice while coaching my new drivers who use a separate joystick for throttle and steering (actually, same setup as on the 360 controller, just using joysticks), I found I personally much prefer the joysticks and was able to perform better with them.
