When the OI is switched into autonomous mode it no longer reads input from the joystick ports. All input values get zeroed (127 for analogs) until it is placed back into standard operating mode. What you'll want to do is read the input value only when the robot is not in auto mode, then evaluate it when the robot is. Otherwise it will always read 127 as the selector input, no matter what position it's in. Remember that the OI can receive input from the ports when the robot is disabled, which means that you will be able to set the autonomous mode selector at any point before the match begins.
