We ended up not really useing it a lot though, and kept it mainly on the brake setting.

But it was a nifty little feature nonetheless,
now that's nifty, we're going to hack a joystick that we're not using and make a buttin that will switch us from autonomous code to RC and vice versa. don't know if we;lll be able to do it or not but hopefully our mentor helps. It's possible, we just need the wiring to be correct.
