I wanted to do something similar with a fully-functioning arm model, you know linear pot, base swivel, all that crazy jive. But, time and practicality made us settle on our current design. We have added one feature to that though; it now has extension buttons on the side of the arm model for easier control.

Re: pic: Truck Town Thunder 68 Controls
I am pretty amazed to see that a lot of teams are going for that "Mini-me" (that's what we call our little arm) arm controller concept... .... I also happen to see that not a lot of teams (besides many rookies) are using those white joysticks that came with the kit.

Great setup you got there Truck Town! Easy to carry too! I can't wait to see you all at Nationals!
