To make a switch to turn on autonomous mode, all you have to do is put a switch between pins 5 (autonomous mode pin) and 8 (GND), on the 15-pin competition port.

As far as I can tell, the physical switch connection changes bit6 of the PB_Mode byte, both of which are defined in the default 2003 code, from a 0 (open, automous mode off) to a 1 (closed, autonomous mode on).

If I'm wrong, please correct me.
