I'd love to see FIRST open the rules up on the OI side a little bit similar to what they did on the RC side with the custom circuit.

Would it really be that big of a jump to allow custom circuits to be connected to the OI?
We could only be so lucky. Alot of people have been doing alot of stuff with the controls in recent years. The pirate team comes to mind, cyber blue, and 447 with the joystick gloves and staff of power (even if the staff didn't work it was still cool). Atleast get rid of the rule banning modifying the stock joysticks. I understand they dont want people crossing wires and frying their OI but its at your own risk. Every single thing on our controls was custom wired in some way, from a y cable to adding our LED goggles it was all wired really strange but alot of time could have been saved if i could have rewired it in the joystick.

Custom circuits on the control side would also be great for doing more advanced controls with some more custom type controls...

I know i have a strange idea for controlling a omni wheeled kiwi drive type robot with a big kids track ball which would be kind of hard to do with the rules as they are now.
