It is the only easy way to do OI I/O, but of course there are other possibilities - just not so easy.
Another option, is the EStop Robotics CCI, which emulates a joystick with digital and analog IO. http://www.estoprobotics.com/estore/...d&productId=33

There were some firmware issues early last season, but I didn't hear of any trouble after those were resolved.
