Re: Force Feedback

R69 States all power must be derived through "the port" It does not state what "the port" is but i am assuming it is intended to mean the joystick ports. With a rumble style force feedback device you would only need power in short spurts. You could easily build a power supply that hordes power for use in times of high load. I don't know for sure but i don't think this sort of sceme would be possible for the other type of force feedback in which power would be needed for longer durations.

If there were not rules and depending on the internals of the OI, it might be possible to draw power out of other things such as the tether port, dashboard port and power port.
