Setting Autonomous Settings from OI

We only noted that the value picked up by the RC did not correspond
to the value selected by the switches. We patched it by waiting a few
cycles to pick up the values that selected the auto mode and moved on
to other things. You could write code that saves the values read in a
circular buffer, if you want, and prints them out a few cycles after
auto mode goes up. You could then get the answer to your question.
We discovered the issue while testing the auto mode with a competition
port switch box, handling disable and auto mode switches by hand.
Again, it was several years ago and my memory is hazy. We have
not used OI switches to select the auto mode since the PBASIC days.
