We had one stick that the digital buttons gave fluttering signals which really messed up one of our mechanisms were the button was supposed to open a plow, so the plow was given repeated signals to open and close.
In one of our elimination rounds, we climbed to the top platform, got our hook on the bar and i (the coach) gave the command to winch, only to find that the plastic button was missing from the joystick. I quickly fumbled around my pockets to find a tool to stick in the hole to press the piece inside that actually closes/opens the circuit. Sadly, the pen i conveniently had didn't do the trick, and we didn't hang. Maybe this was really my team's fault, but it definitely hurts my opinion of these sticks.
