This is true after you have updated the firmware in the DS and reimaged the cRIO.
The OTB program uses Drivers Station Digital Input 1 to select between tank and arcade. The documentation says to install the jumper from signal to +5 to select arcade mode and no jumpers for tank mode. This works for some but not all systems. The DS DI inputs are floating so they can be in any state without jumpers. Install a jumper between Ground and Signal on DS DI 1 to select tank mode in OTB mode. We used a PWM cable with black and white tied together.
