OK, my question: Is any data transmitted at all when the robot is disabled. eg. data is transmitted but ignored because the "disabled" flag is set?

[EDIT] http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=23519 seems to be on point but has anyone confirmed the ability for this year? [/EDIT]

Nothing is different in the data communication in disabled mode except for the actual "disabled" flag. Unless your code specifically checks that flag, the data is transmitted and acted on by the robot just as when the robot is enabled. The dashboard sees the pwm outputs being commanded, the user and LED control bytes come through unharmed, etc. The only real difference is that the master processor in the RC turns off all the actual output pins.

(Dave Lavery overstated the case when he said the data transmission from the OI is disabled during autonomous mode. The OI still sends data, but it is read by the robot code as all being inactive -- joysticks at center, all switches off, etc.)
