Outside of competition, you should have a USB e-stop button connected to your driver station. If, for some reason, you do not have one, you can override the e-stop button by going to the diagnostics tab and double clicking the stop button indicator.

During competition, you will plug in to FMS which will automatically connect an e-stop button that is located at your designated spot.

If you are referring to enable/disable shortcuts, then the above posts are correct.

No, this is not correct. That was last year. This year, the spacebar is estop, f1 is enable, and enter is disable. However, during competition, there will still be an estop button on the table.

You never "had" to have the estop button connected in previous years, so the only question is whether or not it will work to estop the robot. I don't think it will, but you could reprogram it so that it does. (Tt is a USB keyboard with one button. Change that button from the default to space.)
