Re: Autonomous selection from dashboard

While 1675 was messing around with more autonomous routines at Midwest this weekend, we found out that (at least the way we were doing it) when you try to read the digital IO pins in autonomous, it takes them from the state they were at driver station boot.

If you go this route, make sure you thoroughly test your system and that drivers know of any special procedures they need to follow to choose the mode they want.

(We ended up not putting it in yet because we only used one autonomous routine.)
