It most certainly is necessary (it is ALOT easier to control a robot via just a controller- we had to run three robots down for our city's parade and it would have been a painful endeavor to use laptops for them)

Unsafe just use a kill switch (on a xbox controller- start twice to start, start once to stop)

@OP We just replaced our roboRIOs with cortexes.
