The way many teams do it is to use the Competition Port and set the Autonomous Mode by a flip of a switch that way. That's the way it happens at the competition. References for this are in the OI Reference Guide.:
http://www.ifirobotics.com/docs/oi-r...c0-1-12-05.pdf, see page 11.

You can also easily do it by having your program check a switch on the OI (like the trigger on a joystick) to turn the autonomous bit on when it is pressed.
