This is correct that you can't use the competition ports for control wiring in the competition. You must connect directly between the OI controller and the field wiring. However, I recommend building autonomous and disable switches into your OI panel with a cable that you plug into the competition port while practicing and testing the robot. Building these into the panel keeps them from getting lost.
