So if i were to make a disable switch would it use the same pins as it does on the newer OI's? We were thinking about letting some people out of the crowd drive the robot to have some fun, and we thought it would be safe to have a disable switch.
Second, are there any pins on the competition port that put out power? If so, do you know how much voltage it puts out? I had the idea of putting some LED's in a clear switch box (auton, disable, practice), kinda to make it glow  . Also, what pin should i use for the ground of the LED's? By the way, this information i would want for the newer OI's.
Thanks,

Since these are old, if you can't figure out the pins, would it be possible to make a disable function in the program itself? (forgive me, i'm new, I don't even know if you did a lot of programming back then).
