For what it's worth.

I understand those reasons. We use rotary switches (2 X six pos) on the PSoC and print out the auto routine on the Driver Station LCD so we can confirm that the cRIO sees those switches. In case the PSoC (as it did when the Classmate battery goes low, we will not let that happen again) fails the drivers are trained to use the virtual analog in as a backup. It is important to be sure you run the correct auto.
