Our experiences in the past are that before the match starts, your robot is disabled only. IFI does not put your robot into autonomous mode until the round actually starts (they enable your robot and put it into autonomous at the same time). Your robot remains enabled from the start of autonomous until the end of the match (it does not get disabled anywhere around the end of autonomous), with the exception of being disabled by your HP this year. Again, this is from past experience so it's not guaranteed to be true this year, but I'd be surprised if they changed it.
