What do you use to control your robot?

*sigh*
3 joysticks...

But if you are looking for equipment I know a lot of teams use Razer, and I looked at a lot of Mad Catz and Saitek controllers.
Although guitar hero controller gave me an interesting enough idea.

The strumming switch will be used for fine adjustments in height. This is an idea so far, and our controller is orderd and being shipped. The driver holds the guitar controller as they would if they were playing Guitar Hero. Since we already know how to program Xbox 360 controllers, we can program a guitar controller since it is basically the same thing, just with a different shape.

We're gonna rock our regionals, and hopefully champs.

I'll have to look out for this. That's a pretty fun/cool idea!

Please tell me you're also trying to find a way to implement the streak bonus from the game when you have to thrust the guitar handle upwards to activate your bonus (It has a name, but I forgot what it is). That would be so great to see someone behind the glass just shaking their guitar.

We're using an extreme 3D joystick for the drivetrain and an attack 3 for the lift. We're taking the easy way out this year.
