We used jumpers on two discrete inputs to let us select from 4 autonomous (binary mode -- no jumper, J1, J2, both) and a third input for starting right/left side.

Too confusing, and too easy to make a mistake during competition. This year we'll take the time to wire in a rotary switch for autonomous and a toggle switch for starting side and clearly label both.
