Re: Xbox 360 Wireless controllers?

keep in mind that you need the $100+ receiver to use the wireless controllers with with your computer.
Combine that with the increased risk of lag or dropping connection and I'd say it's not worthwhile to use a wireless controller. However, I do not know of any rules prohibiting it. maybe q&a it.

Re: Xbox 360 Wireless controllers?

I would suggest the Logitech F310 instead.

They are realitively cheap, wired (usb), and in our experience a better option for a gamepad for FRC use.

Re: Xbox 360 Wireless controllers?

...and if you want wireless for mobility in the DS... I suggest what we did last year.... 15 foot USB extension cable. It used to be in my wall for a home theater setup I pulled it out and we used it on the Driver Station. 2 bucks on Newegg!
