Re: What happens to commands when disabled?

One tactic, if the documentation doesn't completely answer your questions, is to create a new test Robot project, and put debug statements in interesting places. Then load the test project on the roboRIO, run it, and see what happens in different modes.

For 3081, we often will create a standalone project that tests a particular set of functionality, then copy the code into the main robot project when it's working well enough.

I have a directory on my development machine that is filled with little test programs (non-robotics) that do this very thing, built up over the years.
