Re: VEX programming without transmitter
If you use a standard project in easyC Pro for the vex the robot can be run 100% autonomously and doesn't need the transmitter. I think it may be a bug in an earlier version of the WPILib I believe it was fixed a couple versions ago. You can update for free at www.intelitekdownloads.com/easyCPRO

If you want to check if the transmitter is running for an enable / disable switch then you can call ReceivingData(unsigned char port) it returns a true/false . The port is which transmitter port you have connected.
