Somebody will have to correct me if I'm wrong, but the way the code is, I believe that you read the inputs from the OI once before you enter autonomous mode. However, I'm not sure if the OI will actually send anything to the robot.

The safe way is to have switches on the robot that you set to indicate which autonomous mode you want. Your program then reads these and figures out what you want it to do from them.
