We're using a 360 controller for this year's game, and if this rule means we have to plug in the controller after autonomous is finished, this spells trouble for us. Our robot won't recognize the controller unless the bot is rebooted after connecting it.

If this rule means something else, please explain. If i'm on the money with this, then does somebody know how to make it to where the robot doesn't need to be reset in order to recognize the controller?

I believe the rule is refering to a controller that is being held or worn DURING automous, and in that case would need to be disconnected. If your controller is resting on your DS or on the DS shelf during autonomous, it is like any other component of the DS and can be connected.
