That is not what I meant. I am not a 'gamer' so I don't know what functionality this x-box controller has besides the obvious wire coming out of it. If the x-box 360 controller has wireless capability (functionality that is not employed for robotic operation) in addition to the serial hardwired interface it has, can it still be used?
The answer is still no. During an FRC event, you may not use wireless communication other than the specified DS-to-robot link.

As it is right now, it is only used with the wired interface - if it has wireless capability, I am unaware of that nor would I know how to use the wireless capability.
You're not going to get a lot of help here, because you are not permitted to use wireless controllers. Is that clear enough?

(When you're not at a competition, the restrictions do not apply. Use whatever controller you want to.)
