That Logitech joystick model was a staple HID (Human Interface Device) and wireless peripheral for many robotics researchers and corporations. Pairing and range was better than any 2010’s Bluetooth, and more compatible than OEM or hobby grade RF controllers. So many ROS projects used those. If both Xbox and PS DualShock controllers get cought amidst similar public ridicule, then we’ll have nothing left! 🎮🙃

    Yikes.

    and that Boeing and even NASA had participated in the design and testing of the Titan.

    They keep repeating that, and I was wondering WTF that means. Neither of those people have a mandate or any experience with submersibles (at least, I think, maybe there’s a weird Boeing spinoff). They could contribute just to the basic structural considerations, but they’d need to take resources away from their actual jobs for that so they wouldn’t.
