@WiredEarp I've yet to try it myself as having most of my money tied up in computers and buying my kids toys that they can play with too, I've yet to take the money to buy a remote controlled helicopter to try it out. I found that video over a year ago when I was working on making the PS3 controller work with a couple of games in Windows... (Worked great for NFS btw).I do agree with it never being able to fly it with high precision as it would require a very much higher resolution analog controller. I do imagine once I get some time I will tweak around with what I have laying around my house and find a way to expand the range of the bluetooth on the 360 controller. I've successfully used a blue-tooth dongle from about 25 meters compared to the estimated 11m that you would normally get out of it.]]>Jun 8th 2010 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/xbox-360-controller-dictates-r-c-racer-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/xbox-360-controller-dictates-r-c-racer-on-video/
FIRST Robotics team 1477 Texas Torque (of which I was a member) built a robot this year that was controlled using an Xbox 360 controller. This isn't an RC car, mind you - this is a 120-lb beast. :)
