Re: Visual Joystick - a full 2 axis, 4 button joystick during autonomous mode
DjScribbles makes a great point but misses one important aspect of the situation. Auto is risky and this level of operator intervention provides a plan B that could easily grow into a significantly robust capability for teams to recover from an auto routine that did not go as planned.

Is this good or bad? I don't know. I have a feeling that it is not what the GDC had in mind when they made this allowance.
