When HOT did crab in 2005, we used a regular black Flightstick (forward, backward, left strafe, right strafe) and a Playstation steering wheel to change the robot's orientation.
We just opened up the case of the steering wheel and soldered some wires onto the potentiometer to put into a gameport connector.

If you're doing it to win, you're doing it wrong. Teams who truly understand why they are doing what they do will win Chairman's simply as a result, an added benefit. The award isn't the goal. It's the impact you create, and the results you see. - dcarr [more]
