Eager to be proven wrong.
Hi Phil (and others): And here's where you'll be proven wrong. At the end of Autonomous, the FMS exits the autonomous program running on the NXT. Your code will definitely stop. The question then becomes: What happens when you exit the NXT code and you have full power applied to the motors? Do the motors stop? I think so. I believe the same thing happens if the bot is disabled by the FMS as well as at the end of teleop.
