[FTC]: FMS Dropping only the joystick possibly?

Hello everyone,

Yesterday my team went to the GA Tournament and boy we had a blast. We took 1st place for like 5 minutes, but it was great. We eventually lost in quarterfinals.

I would like to Thank the entire volunteer crew at GA, Mr. Lowe, and SPSU for helping out in the event.

One thing I noticed, and so did a few other teams, was that the FMS seemed to drop the joysticks, but not the buttons. One example is in our match 4, I, the driver, had no control over the wheels, and the manipulator controller, had no control over the arm, which were both controlled by joysticks. But, the manipulator controller had control over the puck rack emptier, which was controlled by a button. When the match ended, the crew had us push buttons to ensure that the controllers were still connected, and they recognized the buttons.

Now I don't want a start a verbal bashing against the FMS, but I just wanted to know if any other teams had issues where their joysticks would not function, but then when checked with the FMS, the buttons still worked.
