Re: Rule G05 and Autonomous

Clarification on exact placement: G05 says touching the pyramid. That is the only positional requirement.

You don't change the mode; FMS (the field system) takes care of that. There are ways to select between autonomous modes; I would suspect parameters can be changed as well.
