The manual says that there is transmission during disabled status:
Quote:
When the Disabled LED is ON solid, the Robot Controller’s PWM and RELAY outputs are disabled.
The following functions are still active when the Disabled LED is solid ON:
• Operator Interface inputs (joystick, buttons, etc.) are transmitted to the Robot Controller.
• User code is executing.
• User code input, including Operator Interface inputs and local inputs (switches, pots, etc) are
read in by the User processor.
• Robot Controller feedback is transmitted to the Operator Interface.

If the robot is in disabled before switching to autonomous then I would say that it is correct that you could transmit during that time. This seems to be the logical explanation for how this worked last year, and probably will this year too.
