You're most likely right, and I can't think of a particular circumstance where my method would be necessary. However, we're only a little into the second week, and I have no clue what my robot will be capable of and exactly what it will be doing in the autonomous period. Therefore, at present, I am still planning to use any input to deactivate autonamous mode. I may change my mind in the future, but not yet.
