Do nothing Automaticallly
If a team doesnt want to execute autonomous programing, they should have a switch to select an autonomous program that does nothing. This would eliminate any need for the human player to be on or off of the pressure mat. I dont trust that sensor anyway, cause I think it will malfunction at least once during competition. Day One I realized the need for multiple auto modes, for different routines, left and right and a do nothing routine. The selector switches for Geroni-MOE are on the Operator Interface and are stored into a variable each loop so when autonomous mode turns on, it reads the variable to choose the program. Plan ahead and a problem like this will not happen. The only reason not to step on the mat is if it is a last second decision based on human player box placement or something.
