This link has details to the new cortex microcontroller but also, the VEXnet Joystick which has "Shape and size similar to the Xbox/Playstation controller.

* VEXnet 802.11 capable using (1) VEXnet 802.11 Key
* Dual Joystick capable. You can link two joysticks together. Only one VEXnet 802.11 Key needed.
* (2) X-Y Analog Joysticks
* (8) Top Buttons
* (4) Back Buttons
* (1) 3-Axis Accelerometer providing X-Y Tilt outputs, X-Y-Z acceleration, and a shake output
* (1) Powered by (6) AAA batteries. We recommend using rechargeable AAA batteries."

so basically we have buttons now, toggles or hold down to perform functions, this will be really cool and we can also do more with one controller, i think that having one person control runs much smoother than having multiple people. The downside is, this is EXPENSIVE! soooo make sure you sell your tickets to the pancake breakfast.
