Mark McLeod: Is the robot killed?
Me: Nah, but there's no more steps, it won't move.
Mark McLeod: You're still hobbling around from the last time you said that, use the dongle.


Plus there's no easy way to enable autonomous "properly" with that, I don't like hacking around internals that don't need hacking.

That's a good point. We've always had the kill switch on the OI, and then the autonomous enable switch has been a seperate dongle that we can pull out if autonomous goes wrong. I don't want to have to deal with a 3 position dongle.
