FIRST almost always limits cases such that the robot and the human can't be touching game pieces at the same time. since there is a field element in between them, and the pilot is also connected through a flexible element, it may remain as it is currently written. I know it was in our discussion that the pilot would lift the gear out of the robot with the lift, though thinking about it more, that's not a good idea if the pilot is not paying attention.

If the pilot isn't paying attention, they shouldn't be the pilot.
