No, I'm thinking it wouldn't violate the spirit. The only reason for the existence of rule 75 I can see is to keep the robots from accepting driver input while in disabled mode (although they could theoretically still make the motors run, iirc, but whatever (On second thought, maybe there's a wrapper which stops this from happening. Either way, however, it is still legal to modify the cRIO's software so this protection might be nonexistent, therefore rendering this rule pretty much arbitrary.)).

And, actually, there is virtual joystick software out there. I think there's a related thread in this forum where I reference it, but it might be required to make your own wrapper depending on what you're sending.

I only know of being able to make such wrappers in Linux, but the virtual joystick software for windows shows it can be done. I do wish they'd not make it platform-specific.
