Force Feedback
Has any team constructed a FIRST legal force feedback system for competition? Obviously the problem is getting the feedback motors to run off the operator interface, if that's legal. I would assume with two accelerometers placed 90 degrees from each other, you could get the feedback relatively easily (the feedback only, I hear the sensors are real pains). The last problem I see would be the charge generated by the motors while you're moving the inputs. Could it affect the system in any way I wonder?
