Ah, ok, I see.

Yes, the intake is always running when it doesn't have a ball. In the pit we cover the sensor with tape before enabling it to trick it into thinking that it has a ball.

We wanted as many systems to be autonomous as possible, so the driver could focus on more important tasks than manually hitting a button to intake a ball. During a match you always want to pick up a ball if you don't have one, so the code just automates that away.
