Re: Need Help with Arduino for Driver Station
We looked in to using the Arduino Leonardo last year since you can use USB-HID libraries to use it as a HID device. You need to create your own HID descriptor file, but it's possible.

In the end we didn't use it, as we wanted to read switch and pot values in software, but not as a joystick, due to time. It was easier to switch back to the cypress board in the time we had. We might take another look this year though.
