Couldn't you use a keyboard (or a PC game controller if he's used them)?

I do that all the time. Thats why there's a Wii.

It would be cool to have a force feedback joystick, then add an accelerometer on your robot and when you run into things it rumbles.. that would be interesting

ahh but the wireless wii controller doesn't run on nothing.

Would a DualShock Controller (the ps2 ones) count as a powered controller? I mean, it has that light in the center and the rumble feature. Also, if you look on the plug that goes into the console, there's a tiny metal contact on the top.

What do you think?

As long as they draw power only from the OI its ok

[cgredalertcc]

but that completely defeats the "wireless" idea. My point was that anything corded could casue you to pull your control board off of the shelf, and it would also give you the ability to step outside the driver's box. penalty?

And to make the robot spontaneously combust you play any Dragonforce solo. 


haha, heck yes... Dragonforce! i think guitar hero would be a sweet controller but the first thought that came to my mind was DDR mats... just for some random capabilities ya know? that would be saweeeeet
