: What are you guys trying to do? Give the alliance member at the far end of the bench one of your joysticks to control?

We have 5 LEDs that need to be controlled which means that we have to plug our project box into ports 1&3 because they are the only ones with LED drivers (4 each).

We also need 9 switch inputs. Joystick ports 1 & 3 only give 4 each because the other pins are used for the LED drivers. We are also using 2 joysticks for driving. this means that we need to use a custom cable to get the extra switch input, and I would rather use 2 off the shelf cables than try to fabricate a single custom cable with wires going everywhere.
