There are many easier ways to test auto code than to flick dipswitches.. I'll post the segment of our code we used for testing some time later (upon request).

Basically, the position of the 'throttle' wheel on the drive joystick had different meanings. What meaning it was set to was shown by the LED's [programmed display]. (i.e. 4 on = auto test on button). Then we had a special "testing" button on our control box. When it was pushed, it would run a program based on the throttle position. The autonomous choice was determined by a series of dipswitches to our digital input.
