The only description I’ve found was from 20 VEX Forum posts: There is an LED and a little button on the Magic Widget labeled “Program.” Basically, don’t worry about it-you will likely not have to use it. Be sure to set the competition switch to “Disable” before downloading every time.
However, the robot will not respond to the competition switch, and you’ll be annoyed and frustrated that this doesn’t work.Click the big “Download to Robot” button in the RobotC toolbar.Make sure your competition switch is plugged into the “Competition” port on the back of the main joystick and set to “Disable” (for safety prevents runaway robots in case autonomous starts running after you download the program).Turn on joystick and cortex and let them pair/connect.Connect things together as shown in the schematic above.Probably falls into the “couldn’t hurt” category.Sorry I can’t be more definitive here I did not do the setup for my team, and the person who did doesn’t remember all of the steps required.

However, the VEX product page says that you need to install them (under the “Description / Post-2012 Driver” tab at the bottom of the page).

because the document only covers up to Windows 7. I’m not sure if this information applies to the current version of RobotC, Windows, etc.

Then the joystick continues to talk to the cortex via the VEXnet keys, as it does during driver control. The other side of the Magic Widget has a different type of cable (looks more like a large, flat telephone wire) which runs from it to the “Program” port on the back of your main joystick (photo below). The other end of the USB gets connected to a Magic Widget (rectangular orange box, photo at right). So how does this miracle occur? As shown in the image at right, the cable is a 3-part item-the first section is USB, which plugs into your computer, the same way as non-wireless downloading.

There’s a lot of things I like about RobotC so far, and perhaps the most time-saving item is wireless downloading.
