Adding Second Joystick to Joystick Shield for Arduino

Added a second joystick to the shield and use one for forward/back motion and the other for turning.  I find this setup gives better control.

Jeff Branson, from Sparkfun, saw my project on facebook and suggested I submit it to Sparkfun to be added to their project section.  I said I would if I could get some better quality joysticks, like the ones Sparkfun sells :-).   I should be receiving those this week and will build up a nicer version and also add some additonal control buttons.

Below is a video of me driving the redbot using the dual joystick conroller.
