I would recommend the Dashboard be used for autonomous switching - it saves physical space on the custom button box as well as button inputs. Also if you decide to add an autonomous mode (or 24), it's easier to add an option virtually than physically.
Yeah sure, you have a crap ton of autonomous modes. In the past, we've found issues with the dashboard not loading in time for us to select autonomous modes. I'll check this option out, but I really prefer a physical switch, which has less points of error (for us).
