PS2 Controllers Make the Best Robot Controllers

Osaka, Japan is the robot capital of Japan — The world, even. Over the weekend in Hankyu department store, there was a display in which soccer playing robots duked it out. Here's the cool bit: They were controlled by third party PS2 wireless controllers from Japanese peripheral maker, Hori. I'd never thought about it, but using a game pad for robots makes perfect sense. Still! I do have a soft spot for retro RC controllers and always will. Brian Ashcraft
