Are you sure about that? I believe the new OIs are key to "real" autonomous mode. It's possible that the state of pin 5 on the competition port may show up in the auton_mode variable on the RC -- in which case, your autonomous program might work correctly. But I think the new OIs actively set all the OI inputs before sending the data to the RC.
