Emulating a Joystick

As far as I understand, the FIRST Control System requires joysticks to use the DirectInput API. I know it would be an extremely complex task, but would anyone know how I could go about making an external microcontroller look like a joystick to the driver's station? My point being I want to be able to communicate via USB with the driver's station, sending digital and analog data, NOT going through the FirstTouch I/O board (because of data size/speed limitations). Anyone know where to start?
