Enhancements to the gamepad (e.g. back paddles) that do not modify the electronics are legal. Adding a ferrite cable clip to gamepad cables close to the USB connector is highly recommended. Different color gamepads are allowed provided they are the same model as the allowed gamepad.

Teams are strongly encouraged to use short USB cable extenders with the USB ports on the DRIVER STATION device. These extenders are used to reduce the wear and tear on the DRIVER STATION device ports from frequent plugging and unplugging – instead of plugging/unplugging directly into the DRIVER STATION device, gamepads are plugged and/or unplugged from the cable extenders. The extenders are intended to remain forever plugged into the DRIVER STATION device and, with proper strain relief employed, can protect the port from accidental damage.

Teams who wish to have spare gamepad(s) available as part of their OPERATOR CONSOLE may do so as long as no more than 2 gamepads are connected at any time.
