Re: Absolutely lost

To load the code into the bot, simply compile (ctrl+F10), go to IFI Loader and navigate to the folder in which your code is contained. There should be the appropriate *.hex file there. Connect your laptop to the robot using the black serial cable you got in your electronics kit (you may need to use a USB to serial converter depending on your laptop--these are available at Radio Shack). Hit the "PROG" button on your robot controller for about 3 seconds or so and the Program State LED should light up amber. Then download your code to the robot.

As for switching between autonomous/hybrid and teleoperated mode, here are a few threads that address this topic:
