That's not how it's working for me. When our competition port dongle is set to disable the robot and the yellow "disabled" light is on, communication happens as normal, and the RC sees the OI just fine. It just can't set its outputs to control the actual robot hardware. When the dongle is set to "autonomous" and the yellow light is blinking, all data from the OI is read as default values.
I'm expecting this to be the case before a real match, so the robot can read our IO's autonomous options switches in the time before autonomous mode is activated.
