Re: Using pressure pad to control during Autonomous
Everyone seems to be making the assumption that the pressure pad is active during the autonomous mode. Are you actually sure that is the case? I don't see anything in the documentation that would validate this assumption. I can certainly imaging that the field control software could be set to ignore any input (or lack thereof) from the pressure pad during the first 15 seconds of the match. Sounds like it may be worth a question to the FIRST Q&A board...
