Re: Can the Pilot do anything during autonomous?

Note that the manual says that drivers are not permitted to interact with robots, not field elements. It is obvious that pilots would need to interact with the gears to get a rotor turning in AUTO, so what you are referencing is not a contradiction, more just a misinterpretation of what a member of the drive team is permitted to do.
