Can I Make Something Clear?

When you do that I have another "trivial" problem for you to solve.

No not any, I am a football player, so the most obvious thing for me was having a "playbook" of strategies

Wouldn't you then have to touch the joystick to tell it what to do? Or might that be an alternative option to explore?

No, I was thinking more like before the match, either have a switch board that has all these options that give the robot "moods" like aggressive, passive and what ever then just go into the match and just let it run. Or do that softwarely and have a config file

I don't know if you've ever been in the heat of elims, but you don't have time to download code. So this would only work in qualifications.

If you were around in 2008 hybrid mode sort of accomplished what you're talking about.

The thing is not uploading code, easy as just taking out an SD card and replacing with another one with different config

I know this year our robot's autonomous was controllable by different switches on the robot. Different combinations selected one of about eight different programs. This might be simpler than swapping out a card.

Hows is flipping semi complex switches harder than inserting a labeled card?

Simpler may have been the wrong word. You're certainly less likely to lose switches bolted onto your electrical board than a labeled card.

You could always use the digital/analog inputs on the driver station. They work just fine.
