That, if I remember correctly, was something they custom made with potentiometers, rather than hacking apart a joystick. With the specifications of the input ports on the OI readily available, this is a possibility, most likely easier than taking apart a joystick and then trying to use the parts...and also, remember, as you point out, that they did that LAST year...just because something was allowed last year, doesn't mean it will be this year.

actually, we did a little of both. we pretty much just took off the actual stick and just use the inside wires and buttons. then that was all hooked up to the pots and so on. that wasn't my area of the robot. but i sure hope that we can do that again. using that arm thing is one of the reasons that we had such good control of our robot.
