Autonomous Kill Switch
To switch the RC to Autonomous mode, the Team Number has to be set to zero and then the power cycled. Fine. We were able to switch the EDU robot into Autonomous Mode and have it execute commands with no problem. However the Competition Kill switch does NOT WORK in Autonomous mode AND we are unable to remotely switch the EDU robot into User (Operator Ran) Mode.

During competition, how does the ROBOT switch from Autonomous Mode to Competition Mode after the 15 seconds of fame? Or for that matter, how does the ROBOT get INTO Autonomous Mode at the begginning of the round?

How do you make the SAFETY Kill switch (Competion Port on the OI) work when in Autonomous Mode?
