Re: Avoiding USB Joystick confusion

We had a joystick mix up in 2011 lead to the drivetrain driver reaching across the operator console to work forward and lateral movement on a joystick we had mounted sideways for the arm operator.

After that, we've had joystick order check as one of the pre match tasks of the driver in charge of setting up the operator console. Pull up the USB tab, click buttons to verify order, and fix it if it's wrong. I highly recommend it even if you think the enumeration should always be the same based on some other pre match procedure.
