We tried deactivating autonomous mode by having the human player take longer than 10 seconds, and fo rthe most part it worked, except for one match, where he took 16 seconds!!!! Needless to say, that match we got the highest QP's we had ever gotten, and the second highest in the nation at that time (349 i believe)!

ADVICE TO TEAMS that haven't attended a regional yet: Make sure to test your program before you get on the field (by tether) while your waiting in line to get on stage. It helps to double check while you can. Each match that we double checked, our autonomous mode worked. All the times we took it for granted that it would work, and those matches we would end up stuck on the railing!
