This used to work, BUT 2006 and later, the PWMs won't be driven: From the OI Reference Guide on the IFI website:

A team number of zero is reserved for Autonomous Mode on the Robot Controller. Starting with the 2006 Robot Controller, a team number of zero will put the Robot Controller in Autonomous Mode, but the PWM outputs will be disabled. For more information on Autonomous Mode, see the Programming Reference Guide.

Why? There's no way to turn off the robot.
The shorting-pins-out is a lousy idea, it's easy to smoke the OI (I've seen this done.) If you are determined to do it, make sure you have a spare OI. The next best thing is a 15 pin male connector with the two pins soldered together, at least you can yank it off. The KOP joysticks have all 15 pins in their connector - I haven't taken one apart but if the right wires are in the cable you could rewire one of its buttons to be 'Autonomous'. In this case make sure all the other wires in the connector are disconnected.
