This can be done, I was working with a team with a touch screen laptop and the controls on the dashboard can be access by touch. I wouldn't develop controls on the touchscreen, because it would get cluttered and in the 2 minute madness, it could provide an unnecessary distraction. Being a programmer, I don't like having too many controls for your operator and driver to control. Clear example would be my team's last year robot for Ultimate Ascent. There were so many moving parts that the operator would have been lost controlling it.
