During auto, all of the elevator commands are fed to the normal state-machine that is always running. The auto code only handles the drivetrain directly, using two encoders and a gyro for drivetrain positioning.

So, by "for positioning", I meant "for drivetrain positioning".
That's what I get for posting at 11:00 after two long days of competition.

(I actually write the auto routines in beescript, and use the beescript interpreter to call the auto command blocks, which set the state machine or drive, but that's mostly to avoid LV downloads when making auto routine changes)
