To me this seems all in the gray area. Rule C1 in Section 4.2 of the Robot says that Joysticks and other controll items may not be tampered with, modified or ajusted in any way. As this joystick is oviously not included in the kit and is not being refered to in this rule I am not sure if this applies. Page five of the Operator Interface manual says Other joysticks may be used (except during
FIRST competitions). I think that as long as your Joystick is within the money constrates you should be fine. I also think I recall reading somewhere that USB joysticks where not allowed at all, but that might have been last years manual.
