I'm new to the Parallax Boe-Bot, my class has just started using them this year. I was wondering if it is possible to use a wireless Xbox 360 controller to control the movements of the BoeBot(BS2). If it is possible, how would I go about doing it?

    You may just wish to get a wired one and control it with a dfferent board and an xbee. Thats what I plan to do with my own robot.

    Not directly, but you can use a 360 wireless controller with a Mac or PC. Maybe you could then have the PC control the BoeBot.

    I figured maybe there is a way use the controller as an input device to the PC, then transmit from the PC wirelessly to the bot.
