Re: How do I enter the Autonomous mode?
There are two methods, you can connect ports 6 and 8 on the OI to start autonomous mode, disconnect to stop (Many teams use an on and off switch to short the two pins) -- there are diagrams floating around (do a search) on how to make an autonomous dongle/faker, also since you are working with the competition port, you run the risk of messing up your OI if you do something wrong.
Another method is to set the team number on the OI to 0, tether the OI to the RC, then disconnect -- to stop the autonomous mode, set the team number on the OI to anything but 0, then re-tether. It's a safer way, but if the robot goes bezerk and you lose the tether then many bad things can happen.
