Last year I programmed a switch on the OI (not the dongle) to send the robot into autonomous mode. The drivers used this during the Thursday practice rounds so we could test more than 2 routines per round. This was quite useful since we had over a dozen auto routines and we wanted to test them on the actual field (which is always different than any other field).
