Xbox Controller?

[Punkk242]

Would it be feasible to use a wireless Xbox 360 Racing wheel with the chicklet, plugging in the usb wireless receiver into the chicklet? and allowing the wheel to connect that way?

as long as there are no batteries in the controller, you should be ok. u also need the chicklet as said above.

I don't think it is supported by the chicklet, and even if it is I don't believe it would be legal, since I don't believe you are allowed to have other wireless devices connected to the OI or robot. Sorry, I don't have the rule to quote. Also the battery issue mentioned above.

Funny... I saw a team last year use a 360 controller and a Guitar Hero controller to lower and raise their lift, and control other functions

[MDodge27]

our team is interested in using an xbox 360 controller too. i think a guitar hero controller is just stupid.

I THink that is a good idea but why complicate things?

we might consider using a rockband drumset for control of the arm

I would play claw on the 360 controller.

Super Nintendo controller maybe?
A/B/Start/Select/DPad.

I had the feeling that guy was sarcastic, I don't know about you...

[kevin.li.rit]

What do you think the advantage is? I don't think there really is one... Maybe it saves you space?

Umm..not really a silly idea at all. a lot of teams have done it.

[kevin.li.rit]

Yeah, but again, what's the advantage they have gained? How much time did they invest in it when they could have done the same thing with a joystick and cheaper buttons?

Think about it, using a 360 controller would be destruction.
1. It doesn't seem like it is too much harder to program.
2. Xbox kids would be familiar with the controller and driving would be more familiar.
3. The price for a wireless is around 40 bucks.

Therefore, there are many advantages.

I was just asking... 40 Dollars is a lot for some teams who are operating on a few hundred dollars. I can pick up several buttons at radio shack for a few bucks or salvage them out of stuff I have laying around.
