Otherwise autonomous could still take input from the user.
During autonomous and disabled modes the RC is still getting all of the inputs from the OI, but when the RC is disabled the master processor doesn't create the PWM signals. That and the status flags in the code, is the only difference between the normal mode, autonomous, and disabled, modes.

Even if you are doing other things in autonomous it is a bad idea not to set the PWMs to 127.
