This is the "meat" of an e-mail that I got from IFI earlier this week...

Clarification of Competition Mode and Autonomous Mode
Game Phase
comp_mode
auton_mode

Before the Match
comp_mode = high (1) (Robot is Disabled)
auton_mode = low (0)

During Autonomous
comp_mode = low (0)
auton_mode = high (1) (Robot in Autonomous)

During User Control
comp_mode = low (0)
auton_mode = low (0)

After the Match
comp_mode = high (1) (Robot is Disabled)
auton_mode = low (0)




The Operator Interface will transmit joystick and button data at all times except during the 15 second Autonomous Phase. This means that Operator Interface controls can be used to select various Autonomous programs prior to the match start.
