Re: OI Input Autonomous
sorry for my lack of knowledge, i'm a rookie, but i don't get why a team would want to set a button for autonomous mode at all. isn't it controlled via the competition port and thus out of our hands? in the docs for the OI it says that if you jumper pins 5 and 8, it puts the bot into auto mode. i imagine that's what they do at the competitions, not have a team member push a button on the controller...
