Using pressure pad to control during Autonomous

[dez250]

Theres a few other issues to bring up here. The pressure pad is really a large switch that is connected to the field control towers on each end. When the switch is open (human player is off the mat) the field control software will 'automagically' disable your robot. There is also a rule (i will update this when i find it with the number) that prevents human players from moving off the mat during auton mode. The only reason they are to move off the mat is if a personal injury or hazard is present. I am pretty sure the penalty for moving off the mat in auton mode is 10 points.

Hope this helps.
