Installation of the First Joystick
This will cover the installation of the first joystick. I also install the first circuit board, using only LEGO® brick, not screws. This controls the directional movement allowed by the joystick.

Beginning the Build of the Control Panel
Beginning the build is going to consist of a lot of LEGO® brick! So, I won’t go much into exactly what I order, as I’ll be ordering bits and pieces throughout this process. Instead, I’ll provide key points along the way as I attempt to build this massive structure.

Hope it Really Works, LEGO and Controls
The time has come to order and test the question, can we mount arcade controls into LEGO® bricks WITHOUT modifying the bricks? Likely it’s possible, but really what this will tell me is what difficulties I’ll end up potentially facing and if I need to rethink my strategy about the LEGO and controls.

Research and Figuring Out Design
So this is still more of an introduction to the whole thing and sadly there really is much to show here in terms of picture or video.

So, I’m going to try to keep this very “summary” oriented.
