Yes, but it did not give the exact sequence. We believe the sequence to be:

Comp_Mode Auton_Mode
1 0
0 0
0 1
0 0
1 0

While smother control would be:

Comp_Mode Auton_Mode
1 0
0 1
0 0
1 0

This would keep from entering Manual mode prior to Autonomous mode. Using multiple program slots requires additional switching that should be unnecessary. We set program slot 0 for disable mode, selection of which autonomous mode to operate in and then run the proper autonomous slot. Each autonomous program then runs the manual slot when autonomous mode is cleared. The sequence that is being used by first now requires going from autonomous slot to manual slot and back to autonomous slot. I am trying to check with others to verify that the above sequence that we are seeing is what FIRST is using and if so to ask FIRST to provide a more concise sequence in the future.
