I hate to be the bearer of bad (or good) news to all my fellow computer nerds, but it appears that autonomous code will certainly be back. Look at the revised Edu RC code, specifically the "user_routines.h" header file. Notice anything near the bottom? Perhaps, near the bottom, a little:
void User_Autonomous_Code(void); /* Only in full-size FRC system. */
This means
a)They're probably preparing the Edu RC code to be used for the FIRST competition
b)Autonomous will be back
c)FIRST is either getting careless and posting too much, or intentionally gave us this clue. and
d)Everyone's guesses and fears were right. The only question now is when autonomous will occur. Must see if I can find that in the code anywhere.
