Autonomous Code running issues

Hello, our team is relatively new to vex and Robotc however, I do have a fair amount of programming experience. When testing our robot and using robotc’s competition control, our autonomous period works fine, however when connected to either the tower or one of those competition control tester things, and autonomous begins, our robot simply flinches and does not run until autonomous mode is initiated. Is there anything that I am doing wrong that could resolve this issue? Thanks for any help! Also, I cant seem to upload robotc files to the forum sry

Hmm, hard to say what’s wrong without seeing the code. You should just be able to copy the code in the ROBOTC editor and paste in a post here on the forum, use the </> (code) tags when you post it.
