Re: [FTC]: FCS and autonomous

Yes you will have two (or more depending on how you work your multiple autonomous options) routines on your NXT (three if you count samostat). Your team will start your autonomous routine when you get to the field. The Samantha FCS will enable the robot at the beginning of autonomous. At the end of autonomous, it will stop the running program and start the telop routing you have specified on the NXT. If I remember correctly, the name is specified in FTCCONFIG.TXT (don't quote me on that file name). This file is created either by the joystick control window in RobotC or by running the program chooser application (the same as last year). Basically it works the same as last year. Don't forget, in addition to these file, you can include a graphic file "team.gif" that the Samantha FCS can retrieve from the NXT to display on the timer display during the competition.
