This. We have 5 rocker switches that we wired to buttons 1 through 5 on the Launchpad, and just read the button states at the beginning of autonomous like a boring old joystick. Easy and simple.

(our biggest problem has been with the physical construction of our wiring to the buttons coming undone - we should redo it)
