Re: competition_mode aka rxdata.rc_mode_byte.mode.disabled

no matter what you do in your code, when the controller is disabled all 16 pwms, and all the relay outs will be off. There is another layer of SW above the code that we see - we only tell it what we want the output to do, that other code actually controls the outputs

Messing with the 'comp_mode' bit wont change that, it never has - they are disabled outside the code that we have access to.

If someone had their rotating light on last year when the robot was disabled, they must of had it plugged directly into the fuse box, or had a mistake in their wiring.
