360 controllers work. Plug your controller in and try mapping the controller to inputs in the bot lab wiring, you never know, unless Carrot is actually being constructive.

Yes you can, you need to download the xbox one pc drivers from here:

Then it's just a case of plugging the controller into your pc with the micro usb able you get with it and remapping the controls of your bot.

I've already got the drivers installed, how do you change the controls because when i was trying on the wiring it wasn't doing anything when trying to assign a button? cheers

I've moved to other forums. Under a different name. This is where it all began.

I imagine it would be the same as using a keyboard for setting controls. I haven't messed with a controller for RA2 in ages though.

. Is there a way to map your controller to existing keys instead of making new ones?  Like pressing A is just Spacebar or something?

I sorted it only thing ive noticed is that the robot drives off randomly every now and again and the spinners don't seem to stop once activated with the button one is there a way to fix?
