Re: Can the Pilot do anything during autonomous?

At most the manual may prohibit the PILOT from operating the LIFT to remove a GEAR from a ROBOT. But, if the ROBOT is not in contact with a GEAR on the LIFT then the PILOT is free to operate the LIFT.

Caps for rule book emphasis/consistency.
Indeed. Sorry to everyone else for my lack of clarification but this is where I was leading. There was another post on Saturday about a potential issue with when a pilot can operate a lift, and if the robot is still in contact, would that be considered robot to human interaction.

That was the only other thing I was confused with, and perhaps in the weekly team updates, some of the language will be cleared up.
