The OI has a pull-down resistor on each analog input. It will interpret your ground as a disconnected joystick, and will send a "neutral" value of 127 to the robot. You won't be able to distinguish things based on that.
You might try connecting +5v instead. Very few joysticks are capable of getting the analog value above 250, so you might be able to detect a higher value as indicating the existence of your special circuit. Or you could try to find the proper mid-range voltage to make the OI send out "0" without triggering its open circuit detector (see if a 100K or 120K resistor to +5v works).
