Anybody looking for a cool joystick, check these out on ebay. I bought 2 and I think there are 7 left.

    Would those be for a certain rover, or something else?

    Seth,
    I think they'll look really cool mounted in the control panel with the video screen sitting right in front of you smile.gif

    Seth,
    One joystick will run the camera and the other will run the rover.
