When the robot is set to disabled mode by the Operator Interface, data IS transmitted and data IS received.

Operator Interface inputs can still be read in by the robot.

During the autonomous period, the reverse happens -- outputs function normally, but the robot sees all OI input as 0 for switches/buttons and 127 (neutral) for joystick axes and pots.

This means, YES you can put switches on the control board to choose autonomous programs and all will work wonderfully.
thats what I figured.
