I guess you never heard what happened.

Before each match our driver locks in our autonomous mode. We had a lock-in sequence on our autonomous for safety reasons because our bot would just all of a sudden take off driving. We lock-in by holding the buttons on one joystick while switching into user mode on the OI. While the OI stays in usermode, and the joysticks remain untouched autonomous mode is allowed to run on our robot.

In the case of the match that you are speaking of, our driver had gone through the autonomous enabling sequence and was then talking to one of the other members of the drive team. While he was doing this, an IF person can over thinking we were having radio problems and hit the select button on the OI which swapped it out of user mode and cancelled our autonomous mode for the match. So, it was not a matter of us not turning it on. In this case it was a problem with someone turning it off. NO matter though because we did manage to win that match.
