It does get to the robot before autonomous mode, however. The joysticks and switches can be read while the robot is disabled, before the match begins.

(This assumes that the field control will work approximately the way it has for at least the past five years, with the state changing directly from teleoperated/disabled to autonomous/enabled, with no autonomous/disabled in between. If things have changed to be autonomous/disabled on powerup before the match starts, then a switch on the operator console won't work.)
