The ultimate clarification is in the FCS manual...

Download and read it! Specifically Appendix A for Robot C users.

The ProgramChooser program can be used for LabView, NXT-G and RobotC to set the Telop mode, but it appears that you don't HAVE TO use it for Robot C. There is a process in the RobotC programming environment which performs the same operation that the ProgramChooser does: to set your teleop program.

In both cases a simple text file (FTCconfig.txt) is created/loaded onto your NXT brick. This file contains the name of YOUR Telop Program.

When the FCS switches from Auto mode to Teleop Mode it stops whatever program is running on the NXT, and starts up the program that is named in FTCconfig.txt

If this file name doesn't exist, I'm not 100% sure what it does, but you probably won't like it .
What i saw was my RobotC was not Creating a config file and in my example programs there was a program chooser for RobotC so idk how to do it without it.
