My team (Team 20) did this. We read in variable to control multiple autonomous modes. We do it while the robot is disabled. Recently, we switched to using virtual switches on he dashboard. We don't use it for anything teleoperated, but I won't rule it out as a possibility.

One thing to do is make sure you have a backup plan if the read fails. Error checking is key here. Don't was some variable set to an undefined value because the file failed to read for whatever reason.
