We did this as well in 2005-2006 robots.
Basically we had a thumbwheel through one of the joystick ports. thumb,trigger, aux1, aux2. BCD 1,2,4,8.
When we powered up, we captured the inputs from the joystick to a global varible that was frozen. When auto mode started, we read the global varible.
I had heard of some isses (something changed) in 2007 that it wasn't the same. I think Nathan, our programmer worked through that, not sure what they came up with. So this year, I wasn't sure what to tell them so I suggested to move them since we had so many modes on the robot, we decided to move the thumb wheels back to the RC controller because we have three thumb wheels now.
