Re: [FTC]: FCS and autonomous

You are getting closer..

The program chooser application asks you to select your autonomous program. It then creates a text file on the NXT with that program name. The FCS is able to read that file and uses it to determine what teleop program to run. Your team will start the autonomous when you get to the field. The FCS does not start the autonomous program, it only sends the packets that tell the software template if the robot is enabled or not and what the joystick commands are.

Really, it is exactly the same as in previous years.
