Re: Update #3

Would <G34> really come into play here? Does "contact" equal "control"?

Here's the scenario I was considering:

Your AUTONOMOUS program is not working.
You place the UBERTUBE in contact with the back bumper (closest to CENTER LINE) and place a LOGO PIECE in your GAME PIECE manipulator.
When TELEOPS begins, you move your ROBOT forward to HANG the LOGO PIECE.

In this situation, is the ROBOT really in "control" of the UBERTUBE? The ROBOT is stationary, thus not HERDING (as I understand the term), nor is it in POSSESSION. When it starts moving, it immediately moves away from the UBERTUBE.

Not trying to nitpick, just trying to understand. (Isn't it amazing how the same words can have such different meanings for different people?)
