Perhaps this is explained somewhere, and I have missed it (very likely). If so, please just redirect me to the appropriate source.
Questions:
1. Is the "FTC Controller Station software" different than the "Field Management System?"
2. Are one or both of these available for in-house testing?
3. The RobotC template says that it is a "dual-mode" program and that separate versions should be used for autonomous and teleop modes. I understand the logic within the template, but I am unclear as to how to the switch between modes will occur. Are we building to separate executables that will be loaded in turn? If so, is this a manual process? Or is there an automated mechanism (using predefined file names?) that will handle this?
Thanks for any help.
