yes to both, but not initial releases, which will primarily be framework, a skeleton.

This would include the use of pots. in the control station.
yes, no. Half the point is to simulate a given FIRST game (the rest is to create another FIRST thing ). The joystick ports on the OI are mostly standard; If you plug in a custom box, the 4 analog and 4 digital inpusts will work, but LEDs will NOT (of course, this can be remmedied with a RS-232 box). As for directly plugging in the OI, probably not.
