I was thinking more Nvidia Shield, though, which was given away to many teams for free at Champs as I understand it. Big market for you there. I own one personally and it'd be awesome to control the robot from it. For now I can use the Shield's gamepad mapper to use it which should work just as well.

There's a lot of potential here. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
I cannot guaranty it since I know nothing about the Shield, but I just looked it up and if I'm guessing correctly and if the Shield runs android, than the same code to add support for an external joystick will also work perfectly for the Shield joystick.
