Re: Adding match-settable switches

1075 has used various forms of switches for this in the past. Our newest cool toy for auto-mode adjustment is called a Thumbpot (sorry, no part numbers) that I collected when the local battery plant went belly up. Its basically a 2 digit numerical readout where each digit = x amount of resistance. Hooked up to an analog input, and a 0-1024 = 0-99 conversion formula, I can now make up to 100 different automodes selectable on the field in seconds.

Of course, the amount of automodes one might require in this year's game is rather limited, so 100 is a bit overkill. Maybe I'll use it for a top secret function that will prevent traffic jams on the field in hybrid.
