Ryan Meador will become famous soon enough
*sigh* I don't believe it violates the spirit of the rules any more than a knob on the robot. I'm not communicating with the bot during the autonomous phase, as some others have suggested via the e-stop, etc. It's just a mode select button. Think of it as pushing the launch button on an interstellar probe... after you set the launch parameters, it's gone off on it's own (I realize that's not 100% a great metaphor, but I'm thinkin' on my feet here!)
