If you don't consider a PIC a portable computing device, then what do you consider it? You can move it around (it's not bolted to the floor or anything, so it's portable), and it computes stuff. It isn't one in the traditional sense of the word, but in terms of FIRST, it may be iffy. This is one of the issues where it's the intent of the law vs the wording of the law. Try to understand what they want to avoid and see if what you're doing opens up the possibility.

Gotta ask: what are they worried about with a logic driver of some sort connected between the joystick and the oi?
