Re: Check joysticks and I/O module before each match
During the Lake Superior regional, on one of the last qualification matches, a similar incident happened to us. I'm not sure if it was do to that stupid stop button causing an overload earlier on the USB ports (it seems like those lights draw wayyyy too much power).

No matter what I tried doing with our Joystick and controller, be it unplugging them or whatnot, the computer we were using absolutely refused to recognize that they were plugged in, and the driver station thus didn't see them either. I had to reboot the whole thing after the match to get it working again. Needless to say, we sat there watching our team get creamed.
