Title: A neat thing I bought
Post by: rcdraco on March 30, 2007, 08:46:14 PM
I bought a $15 controller from Wal-Mart, looks like a Playstation Controller for the PC, it works great for Robot Arena 2 and just about any other game.  HAHA go get it!

Yeah, I'm looking at one of those, too. I just might get an Xbox 360 controller with a USB cable.

pretty good website for looking for the contollers
i own the one at the top with the lights and clear/white shell. only $14.95 too and highly resembles a PS2 controller. more detail on website.

thats what i use, but after using it for about 4 days the analogs went beserk. when controlling your bot it would flinch and start spinning in circles :(
