We found some "Gamestick 3-d" sticks on line, from CH Products. They were cheap....both in $$ and quality. Twisting the stick provided an output on the aux pin but the twisting axis worked poorly. The pot was poorly mounted, and moved around so much, that we were constantly getting input, when it should have been zero-ed. (There was also no cal wheel for it) We at first, scrapped them and tried driving with another 2 axis stick, by using the x-axis input as a rotate left or right. That worked, but we did not like the handling quality of the 'bot with that type of input. Finally, (I believe it was) James Jones, gutted a Gamestick and re-worked it with a pot from the Kit of parts...(correct me if I'm wrong fellow SPAMers)
