I had to modify the USB Host shield by drilling a hole and replacing the 8-pin header by a 10-pin one, since the motor shield uses those for the I²C communication. After assembling everything and modifying the source code, I can now control the Dalek using my PlayStation Navigation Controller. Here a short demo: youtu.be/K--A9ncVrSM

The USB Host Shield I bought on eBay from a Chinese vendor turned out to be nonfunctional, because they used a 74HC125 instead of a 74AHC125. I got a full refund, and replaced the IC with the proper one. So, I essentially only paid the price for the chip (1,20€). It works fine now!
