How do you deal with the fact you can't hold the controllers during autonomous? It seems like you lose a few seconds every match with this. This was the biggest problem our team saw with adapting a similar approach.
This glove was supposed to be used for to control arm related motion. Also you could set the glove down on the driver's station before the match starts, then put the glove on when teleop. mode starts (as quickly as possible.....).

It's just a prototype our team didn't have enough time to try, but we're most likely to test this thing out during the off-season.

Have you thought about addapting a Nintendo Power Glove in lui of you design.

See the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Glove

This would be a more condenced version and maybe more practical.
The Power Glove was the original prototype "code name" we gave the Mecha-Glove. (So sad that a device so amazing failed too early)

If all else fails, multiply both sides by zero to neutralize the equation.
