From what our coders have been able to discover, there is no "what is the match time" function available on the cRio -- on the Classmate, yes, but not the cRio. So... no problem. We can watch for the first enable after Auton Mode and start counting seconds. When we get to 117, time to throw the brake with 3 seconds to spare...

...except now do we have to wait until 122?

Hmmm...

Anyone have a more elegant solution?

I know if you are using labview you can return an elapsed teleoperated time as a variable (which may be more "official") you can reference in your code. I don't know if it is the same for C++ and Java but you should look into it.
