Yes; the four controller ports allow a total of like 60 bytes per read.

Actually, they progressively inject faster bootstrappers and end up with about 4.8 kB/s: https://youtu.be/qBK1sq1BQ2Q
But still about 60 bytes per read, an insurmountable limit.
I'm pretty impressed all the stuff they patched in the game at just 4.8 kB/s. TASBot was not active for all that long.
TASBot was only controlling controller 1 for a short time, but it remained connected to controllers 2-4 for the entire run, giving it time to download additional content as the showcase was going on.
Ah, I was under the impression that it had stopped. That makes more sense.
