We used a many-position rotary switch wired up with a bunch of resistors, connected to one of the joystick inputs of the OI. We had 8 different autonomous modes defined (4 each for left and right side starting positions), plus a "no autonomous" position. There was also a secret unlabeled switch position that we used for development in the pits, so we wouldn't have to worry about breaking a working autonomous program during competition.
