Here's something interesting...

'---------- Aliases for the Pbasic Mode Byte (PB_mode) -----------------------------------------------
'  Bit 7 of the PB_mode byte (aliased as comp_mode below) indicates the status
'  of the Competition Control, either Enabled or Disabled.  This indicates the
'  starting and stopping of rounds at the competitions.
'  Comp_mode is indicated by a solid "Disabled" LED on the Operator Interface.
'  Comp_mode = 1 for Enabled, 0 for Disabled.
'
'  Bit 6 of the PB_mode byte (aliased as auton_mode below) indicates the status
'  of the Autonomous Mode, either Autonomous or Normal.  This indicates when
'  the robot must run on its own programming.  When in Autonomous Mode, all
'  OI analog inputs are set to 127 and all OI switch inputs are set to 0 (zero).
'  Auton_mode is indicated by a blinking "Disabled" LED on the Operator Interface.
'  Auton_mode = 1 for Autonomous, 0 for Normal.
'
'  Autonomous Mode can be turned ON by setting the RC to Team 0 (zero).
'
'  Bit 5 of the PB_mode byte (aliased as user_display_mode below) indicates when
'  the user selects the "User Mode" on the OI.  PB_mode.bit5 is set to 1 in "User Mode".
'  When the user selects channel, team number, or voltage, PB_mode.bit5 is set to 0
'  When in "User Mode", the eight Robot Feedback LED are turned OFF.
'  Note: "User Mode" is identified by the letter u in the left digit (for 4 digit OI's)
'  Note: "User Mode" is identified by decimal places on the right two digits (for 3 digit OI's)

comp_mode		VAR PB_mode.bit7
auton_mode		VAR PB_mode.bit6
user_display_mode	                VAR PB_mode.bit5

Veeerrrryyy interesting...if this carries over to the full size RC at all, it appears we now have the ability to send a 3 digit(1 byte?) number to the OI display, as well as that the system has the ability to go into "autonomous mode," which locks out all driver inputs....hinting at the game, perhaps? Or maybe completely unrelated...
