I think FIRST is still working on this issue. Somewhere in one of the game manuals it said that all the information about how autonomous matches will work will be released in a later team update. Also, if you want to program autonomous yourself, you have to program in yourself which port you want the jumper to be on. Only in the stock, unaltered code will you need to use port 13.

For my Vex robot, I put a bumper switch on the robot. I will then program the autonomous behavior to trigger only if that bumper switch is pushed. (I just started programming last nght with EasyC. I have been able to get the robot to drive under manual control, and I have got the limit switches to stop the arm and elevator.) This way, I don't have to bring jumpers with me everywhere if I want to run autonomous.
