Force feedback would be a great way to give current information back to the driver in a shoving match. If you could monitor it well enough, increase the force on the driver with probability that the breaker will blow. Or have him aim a shooter with it. The FF "wants" the joystick pointed a certain way, which it communicates to the driver by guiding his hand in that general direction.
I'm also sure that it could be very useful in other situations where you wanted to give the driver feedback, but didn't want his eyes leaving the field.
Haptic feedback is a very useful tool in controlling robots - especially in noisy and confusing environments like a FIRST competition.
