Autonomous logistics

We're going with the path we always do... program in several options, and set which one to use with configurable switches after talking with our alliance partners.

Is it possible/legal to have autonomous selection switches be on the driver station, or is it not possible to have the autonomous logic sense driver station switches, hence forces such switches to be on the robot itself ?

It is perfectly legal to use the cypress board for driver station I/O. We have done that in the past with great succsess. Program your code to give you several autonomous options and then select which one you want to run via a selector switch. We use a 6-position rotary switch to give us up to 6 choices.

If you mean to select an autonomous mode on your driver station after you establish comms but before the match starts, then yes

I would suggest using the driver station digital I/O due to it can't be bumped, i'd do physical if you run out of space. Also the digital is included and thus cheaper.
