Sharon,

There are no rules restricting the coach from carrying or interacting with the robot, while positioning it on the field pre-match.

The only rules for coach-robot interaction would be during the match, the coach can't touch the controls. Unfortunately, I could not find the specific rule in the game manual to determine if that applys to student coaches or not.

I did find these rules:

G33

The COACH must wear the designated “COACH” button while in the ARENA.

Violation: MATCH will not start until the situation is corrected.

G34

COACHES may not touch BALLS. Inadvertent or inconsequential contact will not be penalized.

Violation: FOUL

Can anyone find the rule that restricts the coach from touching the controls?

The best I could find is the definition for DRIVER and COACH, stating that the DRIVER: a pre-college student TEAM member responsible for operating and controlling the ROBOT.
