Anyone run into similar issues and have success debugging/fixing?

Thanks, Team3206 Royal-T-Wrecks
We had a very similar problem at FLR. As we were setting up the driver station before a match, one of our two gamepads did not show up in the setup tab. We unplugged it, plugged it back in, and clicked F1 (to re-scan for HID's), but nothing worked. What we found is that it was the gamepad itself that was not working and we replaced it.

When a joystick or a gamepad does not seem to be responding, my first reaction is to spam the F1 key while unplugging and re-plugging the device. It's safe to say that I will always keep an extra gamepad with me from now on.
