Anyone have any leads on the steering wheel controller that uses a 15 pin connector?

is lost. If you can actually turn the pot far enough to get it
connected to ground the robot will suddenly stop instead of
doing what was intended.

Thanks for the explanation!

We'll work on getting the right resistance pots on the controller for the new robot, and only connect them to power.
