Well, I hate to be a Debbie Downer about this, which is quite ingenious and awesome, but the rules do state:

"The match begins with one 10-second Autonomous Period in which robots operate independently of driver."

While one might argue that the human player is free to do something to control, The argument can be made that the rules leave the term (in this sentence) driver ambiguous with their wording, as to mean void of any from of human intervention.
