Has anyone investigated further what conditions require the transmitter to be turned on for "autonomous" programming, and is it possible to run any programs without the transmitter at all? I also was thrown for a loop (ha) when a program that I thought was purely autonomous required us to attach an RF receiver and turn on the transmitter before it would even execute the first command (turning on motors) -- banged our heads against the wall quite a few times before making that discovery. We use EasyC for Vex, and the only things in the program were motor commands, a couple "while" loops, and reading the input from a limit sensor.
