[FTC]: Starting programs in RobotC

[dcribbs]

We have had very few problems running RobotC programs through Samantha FCS. We would like to run programs straight out of RobotC without having to go through the FCS. Whenever we try the NXT always says "Waiting for start". I'm guessing that the NXT is waiting for the FCS to tell it to start. Is there a way around this in RobotC? My only thought is to have two copies of the program. One using the official FTC templates the other without, I would just prefer to not have two copies of each program to keep track of.

If there is an easy way to run offical template programs straight out of RobotC we would appreciate the help!

Thanks
