Re: Good Switch For Autonomous Mode Select
We put one of those SCSI switches on the robot last year, but the highly efficient programming team only ended up making 1 auton program. Although we never needed to change the number, we did have mechanical problems with the switch after the competition was done. I would suggest bringing a spare, or a backup plan of some sort.

This year, for auton selection and the user byte display on the OI, we're using one of those 12 position (I think) rotary switches with the resistor chain on it .. and plugged into an analog input on the RC. Not sure how it plugs into the OI, I'm guessing on a joystick axis that isn't used.
