Changing autonomous routes through driver's station software

[Gearheads1]

We're a second year team with a single programmer and no strong Labview mentor. Our programmer is sure that he can make some software switches in driver's station and choose one of them after we have placed our robot on the field and it will affect how our autonomous works. I don't think the driver's station can communicate with the robot until teleop, and the only way to change routes in autonomous is through a switch hardwired to the robot that would allow you to tell the autonomous code which routine to run. Any help sorting this out would be greatly appreciated.
