If we can't touch the OI before autonomous, but can still transmit data, then I guess we'd have to use a set of switches to select a mode, since they don't require anyone to physically hold them in place.

Really, if you use toggle switches or other devices which maintain their state once you set them, you don't have to wait for the robot to be turned on before setting up your controls at the player station. Just use the toggles to choose the autonomous settings you want and then step back behind the line and wait for the match to start. In your program, you still need to copy the OI variable values to your own custom variables in order for them to be accessible during autonomous, because all OI variables are reset once autonomous starts.
