Re: Receiving info from OI to select autonomous mode
Caveat:

Dave Lavery mentioned that this year's arena controller is different than last year's.

If this year's arena controller places robots in both autonomous mode AND disabled mode (they are independant control bits) before a match, then I would agree that OI switch data will never be passed to the RC. OI data would constantly be reset to 0.

Unfortunately, the details of the arena controller operation aren't really information most of us are privy to.

Can I respectfully request someone to contact IFI again, and attempt to garner a definitive answer?

In the meantime I think I'll err on the side of caution, and hook up our Autonomous selection to the RC's I/O.
