IF the comp_mode bit does not change, how can FIRST keep our bots disabled before the match starts? What is the difference between "standby period" and "operator period" with respect to control signals? How can comp_mode = high and auton_mode = low produce two different behaviors for the inputs & outputs?
In previous years during the standby period, the RC would execute its code without knowing that its outputs were being set to 127 & 0 by the output processor (unless of course you looked at the comp_mode bit). All the inputs were passed from the OI & RC to your program. There has been no official word from FIRST or IFI that anything will be different this year.
