This is based on last year, but I think it still applies. During the competition, when you turn the robot on it is in Disabled mode. The information from the OI is still being sent to the RC but the RC outputs are disabled. We had a thumbwheel switch (little plastic digit with a button to increment/decrement) on the OI to pick the program. While the robot was disabled we updated a global variable with the program number from the OI. Once autonomous started we used that global variable to pick which program to run.
