Re: Can the Pilot do anything during autonomous?

There is an ambiguity, though not related to the OP.

Picture a robot that preloads a gear and 10 fuel, delivers the gear to the boiler facing side of the airship, then backs up to deliver fuel to the boiler. Suppose the reversing to the boiler is initiated by a state change on a contact switch indicating the gear is present. When the gear is removed, the robot backs up.

In that scenario, is the removal of the gear providing a control signal to the robot? Q&A shall decide, I suppose.
