Shame in one way and good in another. Not in the spirit of autonomous, but it could of came in handy in some situations. Thanks though!
I believe you'd have to go back to 2012 (the last year with a HYBRID period rather than AUTONOMOUS) to allow any interaction between humans and the robots in the first few seconds of a match. The prohibition has always (OK, 2013-present) been constructive (built up of specific rules) rather than generic, so perhaps you can find a loophole that no one did at the time.
