Don't get my wrong.  Hacking was not meant as a derogatory statement.  And
besides, my two choices where hacking a commercial product or building a
homegrown and you just stated you're doing the later of those so the hacking
doesn't apply to you.

Let's please not get into a discussion on the definition of the word
"hacking".

It's a homegrown design and implementation that uses un-modified 
gamepads as the input device, the power of micro-processors and our own 
battle system experience embedded in software.

But, I really don't think the term "you guys are hacking" applies to 
this project considering that (a) Dr. Sommer has a Ph.D. in Mechanical 
Engineering with lots of control experience on his resume and (b) Dr. 
Pittelli has a Ph.D. in Computer Science with 4 successful product 
designs and implementations, as well as 2 successful product companies 
on his resume.

Let's just say ... we're probably qualified for the job :-)
