: Some how I got in my head that joysticks WERE allowed to be modified this year (in past year's I know we could not, but this year, I KNOW I read somewhere that we could).

: But... there is C1 staring me in the face...

: Anybody know where I could have read this?

Team Update 2 -> New Rule C29:
The joystick may be modified(rewired, disassembled, cut, etc.) in order to use the potentiometer and switches in a different manner. If by modifying the joystick you end up breaking it or destroying it, you will not be provided with a replacement.

: P.S. Who else among us regrets not being able to modify those 9 pin cords from the radio to the Robot Controller? .3 lbs just asking to be shortened to about .1 lbs -- but there is that rule C1 again :-(

I know the feeling Joe...rather than it being a weight issue, it's where to put all the extra cord that we don't need...
