That info is the very last thing in Chapter 1 of the Control System Manual.

Robot Signal Light – this amber light allows teams to troubleshoot their robot while on the field. There are 5 states:

  • [LEFT]**Solid ON **
    = Autonomous Enabled[/LEFT]
  • [LEFT]**Solid ON, but blinks OFF every 1.5s **
    = Teleoperated Enabled[/LEFT]
  • [LEFT]**Slow Blink **
    (900ms on / 900ms off) = System Disabled; caused by system watchdog, user watchdog, or Driver’s Station set to disabled[/LEFT]
  • [LEFT]**Fast-Slow Blink **
    (200ms on / 900ms off) - Low battery (<12 Volts) or no user code **and **system disabled either by system watchdog, user watchdog, or Driver’s Station set to disabled[/LEFT]
  • [LEFT]**Fast Blink **
    (200ms on / 200ms off) - System error: No driver’s station communication, bad cRIO Image, bad team ID, extensive communication errors.[/LEFT]>
