If you take the LED turning on/off command to the origin or start, you will see it comes from the driver or coach, the fact that it passes through robot code does not change the origin. If you created a system the read the beads of sweat on the driver's face and interpreted if the light should be on or off based on that, then it would not be human-originated.

*The Merrium Webster website is giving a 504, otherwise I would have used it.
