Hello,

I'm completely new to Mindstorms and planning to construct/program that is
"wheelchair-like".  I'm hoping to control it with a joystick from the PC,
and program it in java.

I wondered if a) is this possible to communicate with the joystick via java?
And b) Is there a particular kind of joystick I should use?

I'd appreciate any help,

Catherine
