I want to make sure I understand this point. It seems very important to emphasize. I would be interested to hear more view points in particular.
So, PRIOIR TO autonomous mode (i.e. while the robot is disabled), your OI and RC are still communicating and your OI is accepting signals from its inputs and passing those along to the RC?
BUT, the RC can not change its outputs? Right? The disabled mode cancels outputs?
This seems like a critical point and I'd be interested to hear some folks chime in.
Another question, can
