Very first try to add joystick control. Its just "hacked" together, but works. Since this is my first contact with ROS – please feel free to rip it apart :)

Have you been able to test this with a joystick? If so did you observe any issues? Do you know how fast the joystick node publishes data at?

Can you add a basic description of this node to main readme in the Description of ROS Nodes section?

If there's more detail you'd like to add, you could also explain it further in the Additional Project Components section. For example, I'd be interested to know what joystick or types of joysticks are supported, or an example of one that works, and any additional useful information about using a joystick with the joy node.

Amazing!!! I might have to get a controller to use this mode of control myself.

Looks good. Really nice job!

I'm excited to try this out myself at some point. It'll definitely ease control over a keyboard.
