I'm not even close to an expert on the system, so I might be totally off base here, but I thought that you cause the "autonomous" program to run. Don't you have to select and start it at the beginning of the match?

Try using the development mode of the FCS and trying to run Autonomous after running Teleop. If I'm reading the documentation right, there ought to be some sort of message telling you what the proper steps are for getting Autonomous to run.

Thats true but I think that on the computer there should be some sort place you can go to select the auto programs so that they can run on FCS.

Unless something has dramatically changed from years past, there is no way for the FCS to know which autonomous to run. You must start autonomous yourself, and if you used the template correctly, then when you hit start match your autonomous will begin and switch to teleop at the appropriate time. It's a hassle, but I'm afraid that's the only way.

How do you do that? we have not been able to get the computer to detect an auto program, even if its running.

As far as my understanding is, for auto you have to press the run button on the NXT, but the program will not run until the start match button is pressed on the FCS. The problem that we are having is that when the run button is pressed on the NXT it starts to run, and when we push the start match button on the FCS, the NXT does nothing. What are we soposed to do?
