What do you use to control your robot?

The Rock Band guitar does not distinguish between "strum up" and "strum down". If that's true of the Guitar Hero guitar as well, it won't be easy to use for up/down control.

For a few years, we've used a steering wheel and joystick for driving the robot, and if programmed right, it works GREAT. But that's only for high-speed/maneuverability/defense games like 2014 and 2013. It really depends on what kind of drivetrain you have and what the game is that year. While it's nice to have consistency from year to year and do one thing you know you can do well, sometimes you have to shake things up.

I didn't play the game that much, but why do I remember scrolling up and down through song lists with the strumming switch? I know that it makes no difference when playing a song, but I swear that this switch is used for scrolling up and down menus.
