Cool idea, was that 007 or 53? I've only started to play with the DS display. I dont think I would ever switch to a scheme that required feedback from the cRIO. I am comfortable with being able to yell at the comp team in the queue "Run C-3!" and they can dial that in immediately w/o turning on the robot. However, maybe I will use this great idea to print out what the auto routine does on the DS so they can confirm (w/o looking at their cards). Also if I need more auto selections I can always put more resistors on the rotary switches (they can expand to 8 or 10 different positions), 6 was just chosen because there are 6 starting positions (lucky we didnt need to use it give red vs blue target to the camera else we would be out by now).
