Thank you.
I don't think so. The change is done on-field, by the field control system. If you haven't already, you might want to make (or buy) a "dongle" that can change between disable, auto/hybrid, and teleop. Schematics are on the IFI website; AndyMark has one for sale.

I'm not sure about the programming side of things, though.
