Rule C1 states "... the operator interface, robot controller, servos....and JOYSTICKS may not be tampered with, modified or adjusting in any way," there are a few exceptions after it, but no mention of joysticks in anyway but after the exceptions is this "Tampering includes drilling, cutting, machining, gluing, rewiring, etc. All items listed in Rule c1 must be mounted without alteration." Well from a strict purist interpretation this means we cannot even adjust the trims on the sticks. However what really concerns me is the fact that we cannot rewire the joysticks, or add buttons or switches to them which for my team has become common practice. also this would lead one to believe that we arnt allowed to build custom control systems. umm.. is somebody seeing something im not.. or do I need to fwd this to FIRST.
