Autonomous doesn't care how you command it, and there are no joysticks anyway in autonomous.

It only runs for about 5 seconds rather than the full 15 seconds of autonomous.
You can fix that simply, by changing the "4" in the upper left to a 12.
Thank you so VERY much...

I certainly hope they offer more courses this summer and fall on using this with the FRC. I attended three all day trainings this Fall and can make Labview do all kinds of things from a math point of view, but taking that and making it work with motors, electronics and other things is much more difficult. I would pay for a class or training materials to help learn how to tie these together and understand the whole picture. Given the number of threads about the programming, I think I am not the only one.

Thanks for making this easier for us.
