I’m sorry my wording was off in my original post. Let me clarify. Are we allowed to create or use an operator box that plugs into the partner port on the vexnet joystick? This does not modify the vexnet controller or vexnet key in anyway thus being custom electronics that don’t modify the cortex or vexnet system.

This would be allowed as long as the primary VEXnet Joystick is unmodified and the new item is only connected to the partner port.

What can this operator box entail of? Can we, for example, plug in a laptop into the partner port?

There are no current restrictions on what can be interfaced with the partner port of the VEXnet Joystick. Just remember, you are responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of the use of custom devices with your VEXnet Joystick. Also, as was mentioned earlier you may not modify the VEXnet Joystick at all.
