Description

Currently there is no way to enable/disable features during runtime to make a program competition legal. This makes development a pain when working with vision based algorithms (Cannot view camera stream if op mode is running) or developing external software (such as ftc dashboard). Adding a toggle that could be viewed in the sdk would fix this. A simple toggle in the driver station app would suffice or you could make a more advanced one (I. E. Time Locked/Password Locked).

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the Driver Station app and SDK runtime feature controls; done means a runtime toggle can enable or disable competition-restricted features without blocking the described development workflows.
