The FirstTOUCH I/O are great in that they can be connected to actual buttons and knobs, which are much easier to use in situ.

If they don't change during a match, I'd go with virtual.
Is this information available during autonomous period? Obviously they can't be changed in that time, but can they be set before the match and read?
