Be very careful with this. By doing this you're effectively overriding a safety feature built into the OI by IFI. That feature sets the OI outputs to 127 when the joystick is unplugged. If you have your "auto trim" set to subtract 10 (or whatever), then when a stick gets unplugged your robot will start driving.
