This is my design for a thumbstick (joystick) for the Power Functions remote
control handset. I forgot about this until prompted, so here it is. It’s a
two-axis joystick that lets you move the stick up/down/left/right and operate
the two IR RC outputs of the selected channel. The up/down movement operates
the right (blue) channel #2, while left/right movement operates the left
(red) channel #1.

Okay, thanks for the recommendations everyone. But having done this, I now have
a new challenge (besides doing a better one of these, anyway).
Can you make a mechanical tank controller thumbstick? It should take in
up/down/left/right (+diagonal) motion like this one, but translate it into tank
drive commands, i.e. forward/back operations on the left and right controls
respectively.
Frankly, it’s got me stumped. It’s the diagonals that make it really hard.
