Re: PS2 Controllers

The method mentioned above is using an unmodified PS2 controller. I have seen some teams modify the controller so it works.

When it was originally built the unmodified version was not legal for two main reasons:
1. it needed to have a 9 volt battery to power the circuit board. Our Geek Team is working to power it off the OI

2. the circuit board could technically considered a computer (which would be against the rules) Again Geek Team is is trying to get clarification on that from FIRST.
