You don't need to remove the controls and indicators before building and deploying as a startup application. I don't believe that these will impact the final performance at all when running as a startup app since the "compiler" will strip off the UI goodies when unnecessary.

I'd recommend that you set some breakpoints in Autonomous Independent.vi and see if the application actually jumps to that VI when you toggle the switch on the DS. Maybe the changes that you've made to Basic Robot Main.vi have somehow defeated Autonomous Independent.vi. For example (and I haven't dug deep enough into the architecture to know whether this is easily accomplished), an infinite loop in teleop may never let the main state machine jump to Auto Ind VI.

What's shown on the DS screen when you switch to Auto?
