(C) Are we allowed to put our robots into a certain starting configuration by use of the joysticks or tethered mode before the start of the match and autonomous mode?
Due to lack of resources and the time crunch, we did not get our camera working and plan to just roll out of the end zone 10 feet and drop our keeper...
Any answers to the above questions would be very helpful!
Thanks

I labeled the questions in the quote:
A. The field software controls whether your robot is disabled/in auto mode/operator mode. This is done by a cable you will plug into the competition port that is part of the field
B. To test auto mode you will want to make a dongle(switch) that plugs into the competition port. Information for the pin out can be found at:

C. You will have to bring your robot in your starting position by wagon/cart/dolly to the Queue line and then carry it by hand onto the field. . . So pretty much you can't tether up to your robot after you leave the pits except to possibly charge up your Pneumatics.
