Veverak was thinking about making custom robot controller (or many other things-controller), found interesting joysticks:

point is that for this to be actually usable, you want joystick that are precise and easily controllabre (aka, something that are used in common RC controllers) -> you don't want to DIY this with sparkfuns joysticks :)
