Re: Forcing autonomous to run

I followed the 2005/06 (Couldn't find a 2007 version; I'm using this on an 06 controller anyway) RC Reference Guide. It describes the following:
Quote:
13. Autonomous Mode...
If you wish to run the Robot Controller exclusively in Autonomous Mode, one way to do this is to set your team number to zero. This is done by setting the team number on your OI to zero, linking your OI and RC by tether, and then disconnecting from tether. After your RC is reset it will be in Autonomous
Mode.

To exit Autonomous mode if your team number is zero, you must re-tether and change the team number to anything but zero.
As I described above, it did seem to work, outputting print statements as it was supposed to, although unable to actually run motors.
