Excuse the unhelpful response, but that makes no sense in a number of ways. Autonomous control uses no joysticks.

Even if the presense of joysticks mattered, the number should be irrelevant. The signals coming from all four joystick ports will be identical (i.e. inactive) during autonomous mode.

Maybe he's talking about one vs. two joysticks for the drive mode? If he's using the default code as a basis, its color-seeking function assumes single-joystick drive. That can be changed without much difficulty, though it doesn't need to be. The section of the default program running during autonomous is completely separate from the teleoperated mode section, and they don't have to be anything like each other.
