NXT Wheel: remote control for mobile robots

Remember the NXT Switchboard, the NXT-based remote control I posted some weeks ago about? It allows you to remotely control each motor of a NXT robot independently. However, it turned out that it's better suited for immobile robots as it's usually pretty difficult to actually steer a mobile robot when you need to control each of the driving motors on your own.
So I decided to create another remote control particularly aimed at such car-like mobile robots, called NXT Wheel; as a consequence, it has a large hand wheel and a speed throttle:

The response time is somewhat low, though...
