How to control Autonomous mode from the OI

Alas, that won't work during competition, but it should prove invaluable during testing.

Why won't it work during the competition?

They would simply have control over it. All we have to do is keep auton_mode aliased to PB_mode.bit6 and it SHOULD work, right?

Yes - as far as the robot controller is concerned, the BASIC Stamp won't know the difference between an autonomous mode dongle connected to the competition port versus the OI being installed at a driver's station during competition and having the field controls activate the autonomous mode.

BY THE WAY:

Connecting pin 8 to pin 5 on the Competition port will put it in autonomous mode if you have the default alias of auton_mode VAR PB_mode.bit6
