Can we use foot pedals on the ground to control our robot?

Team 195 is wondering if we can use video game foot pedals (on the ground in the alliance zone) to control our robot. We can't find anything in the rules. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The use of foot pedals has not been restricted in previous years. We used one last year.

Unless the rules have changed this year (I looked and see nothing about it) you are allowed to use it as long as its powered by the OI.

Re: Can we use foot pedals on the ground to control our robot?

A team asked Q&A if they could use a DDR mat to control the robot and the answer was yes. So I would assume foot pedals are okay.
