Using Switches in Autonomus

The culture has shifted, people. You can act shocked and complain, and likely lose the attention of the students you want to reach through FRC and other activities, or you can shift with it, and make FRC relatable and relevant to a bunch of good kids with foul mouths. - mrnoble [more]

Having done this both ways on the pre-2009 robots, it tends to be an easier location on the driver station, and it eliminates the awkward running back out to the robot to make sure the switches are set correctly. Also last second changes

after seeing how other robots are placed.

I think our programmer for 2009 even had a one-line autonomous description on the DS box, which was better than a simple number. Not that his descriptions were, well, descriptive.
