Re: Using the Microsoft Sidewinder Controller

I don't know as much about the technical aspects of using joysticks, but I do know that MS Sidewinders don't play well with IFI equipment. We tried using a fairly basic Sidewinder stick a couple years ago, and it caused the robot to spin around in circles and do all sorts of crazy things. You might be able to make it work, with some effort, but it definitely won't work out-of-the-box.
