Re: [FTC] Can We Choose the Program?
FTC teams can give their Autonomous, Teleop or All-in-one programs any name.

Teams using separate Autonomous and Teleop programs designate which Teleop program they are using in the Joystick Control debug window of ROBOTC. NXT-G and LabVIEW users select the Teleop program name with the Program Chooser on the NXT. Both methods of selecting the name of the Teleop program write a text file named FTCConfig to the NXT. This file contains the name of the Teleop program that will be used in a match controlled by the Field Management System (FMS). Selecting the name of the Teleop program should be done prior to arriving at the playing field and making the Bluetooth connection with the FMS.

The FMS grabs the name of the Teleop program from the NXT text file (FTCConfig) prior to the start of each match when the Bluetooth connection is made between the NXT and the Field Management System.

After making the Bluetooth connection with the FMS, teams select the name of the program they want to run during autonomous and press the orange button on the NXT to start running the program.
