hw does this have anything to do with robotics.

anwhoo just pluug the new joystick into the USB hole and anjoy. if your cooomputer has no USB then buy joysticks what have gameport suport. buying a converter (if there even is one) will be the same cost.

What exactly is the intention for the project and why are you going to use USB?

amm usb because all the joystics here are usb and the serial's ones are expensive.
We are participanting the FIRST competition.
and in most of the competition the robot will be controlled by human (with joystics)

so do you have solution??

Thanks
