There is also the restriction that the controller (or anything really, other then the laptop and the robot) can not be communicating wirelessly. So it would have to be a controller that you could plug into your computer.

Just about any usb controller works...

You can actually make a custom usb device like many teams (us included do)...helps for creating custom buttons and such.

You can use any variety of controllers that work with your drivers station. this can be USB controllers made for consoles and PCs. also note that you can create your own controller. or control panel. wire switches. and nobs. lights, indicators. anything that makes driving your robot better.
