The Arduino is connected to the driver station off camera. No special software except for the gamepad library. The light is a 12v bike light (here at Andymark but you can get a cheaper generic version) attached to a VEX Spike relay on the robot. You could, in theory, control the robot with this, but I doubt a light switch will be better than a joystick.
