IMO, they should have designed a snap-in holder for that controller and the OI, meaning teams could use the controller, or design their own.. I like customizing my controls

Couple questions, Is it C coding? And... does it support auton mode?

From the looks of it, I am guessing that RC Transmitter is just a standard Futaba RC Transmitter in a new shell. I am sure that other RC Transmitter's will work with the receiver on Robot.

There are many whitepapers floating around the internet (some on ChiefDelphi.com I think) on how to adapt switches, joysticks, etc. to RC transmitters.

OR if you are so inclined, you can get something like THIS TRANSMITTER that lets you control an RC transmitter via a PC (USB and Gameport versions available). Once you have the transmitter controlled by a PC, it is a fairly easy matter to write a VB program to read Joysticks, Gamepads or even THIS I/O BOX to control your VEX robot.

It is all costs money but the cool factor would be pretty high.
