Is the Driver Station push button mandatory to have???

There are several push buttons on the face of the Driver Station. I would wager you probably need all of them for your DS to function, however I suspect you may be talking about a different button.

Perhaps you can provide some more information?

I am discussing the Automation Direct push button??

Ok you are either talking about 1 of 2 situations (that i can think of anyway)

  1. If you are talking about the buttons on thew DS itself then yes they all need to function and be accessible because you and “3 finger salute” your DS to restart it…

  2. You are just talking about a standard push button for your OC and in which cause it is not mandatory…

EDIT: I don’t know what that is sorry…

I’m going to take a wild guess here and say you are talking about this push button which was provided in the KOP (Kamen Tote, Automation Direct pack):

If this is what you happen to be talking about then the answer to your question is no. It is completely optional and up to you and your team to decide if you would like to use it or not.

If this isn’t what you are talking about please provide some more info.
Good luck.

EDIT: I guess that is what your talking about. Posted your comment as i was responding. Nope. Completely optional!
