Playing with controlers and control panels

[deadkenndys1105]

Does anyone ever play with a controler or control pannel.  I play with a controler made by logitech.  Its basicly a ps2 control that i picked up for using emulators but it works get with some other games.  As some of you know I build arcade cabinets and use a computer to play games on them.  When I was building a test pannel I played RA a lot with it and it was very fun.  Think of taking a arcade and converting it into robot arena.  Im thinking about building one just for robot arena and if there is interest I could build them for you guys for a price.  I might try hacking an old tyco controler for robot arena.  The game becomes a lot more fun because its like controling a real bot because you not using a keyboard to move around and with the contolers you can get you moters a limited amount of juice insted of the full load.

Sounds like a good idea!

That Tyco RC controler sounds like an awesome idea, I would do it if I knew how.

if you want crazy realism, build a replica of an airplain Tx for the controller, pistol grip could work as well, but there is less functionality for some stuff.

Logitech Wingman pro edition FTW.

thruster, clutch,  switch, etc...

everything like a bot controller.

but the thruster make the bot lab glitch a little since the cluster are always at on (even at the "0" position).
