I wouldn't say /just/ for steering. And in fact I only use in input, since the touch
sensor can be connected in parallel with a light sensor or such thing. The touch
sensor is by the way only used during initialization, when the outer limits of the
steering is determined to center it. During normal operation the steering is not
allowed to enter those outer positions, since it will easily go wrong and destroy
something - so during normal operation the touch sensor is never used. This way the
steering only uses one input, and I think that's ok.
