The best addition I ever made was to print out joystick & pot values on the OI using the user byte. Flip a switch, move a joystick up/left and the joystick value is printed in the user mode display. Flip another switch, move a joystick up/left and a pot on the robot is printed. It saved me the time of downloading debug software whenever a pot was in question or was replaced. It also allows the drivers to calibrate the joysticks before every match & get the values perfect.
