Re: In your opinion, what's the best beginners tool to help teams with autonomous?

Next is to wire 3 switches to the DIO port of the RoboRio. The problem there is if the team forgets to set the switches (or sets them wrong) and you can't go back onto the field to fix it.

Our team uses a bank of switches via a joystick emulator. That plugs into the Driver Station. It will also work with the First provided Driver Station if yours isn't working for whatever reason.

Well, we actually have autonomous selection on our dashboard. We used it last year for when we were or were not going under the low bar.
