Regarding the gamepad, for some reason I was thinking that the Logitech F310 was what came in the kit last year, which is why I was surprised that it didn't work. Looking it up I see it was the Xbox controller. Now I get why it might not work right out of the box.
I changed the code that reads the joystick in such a way that it does not apply any kind of mapping, in other words it will use the values reported by the kernel. Especially if you are running Linux or Mac OSX.

Be advised, while your joystick might work, it may report the order of axes/buttons differently than the official Driver Station. Please take that in consideration before enabling the robot.

As a side note, I have tested the application with gNewSense 3.1, since Unity and/or Gnome run very slow on my computer.

You can download the latest snapshot of the code here. You can check the Travis build file to compile the DS.
