Claim 11:
12. A control device comprising:
a mount;
a first handle rotatably coupled with the mount, the first handle having a first tubular body;
a first input locus about which the first handle rotates, the first input locus positioned within the first tubular body, wherein rotation of the first handle about the first input on a first axis of rotation locus provides a first input, the first axis of rotation being perpendicular to the first tubular body; and wherein the first handle is coupled with the mount to resist movement in response to a first force in a first force vector extending through the first input locus and to rotate in response to a second force in a second force vector offset from the first input locus;
a second handle rotatably coupled with the mount, the second handle having a second tubular body; and
a second input locus about which the second handle rotates, the second input locus positioned within the second tubular body, wherein rotation of the second handle about the second input locus on a second axis of rotation perpendicular to the second tubular body provides a second input; and wherein the second handle is coupled with the mount to resist movement in response to a third force in a third force vector extending through the second input locus and to rotate in response to a fourth force in a fourth force vector offset from the second input locus, wherein the first input controls rotation of a first wheel or first track of a vehicle and wherein the second input controls rotation of a second wheel or track of the vehicle.
