[Koci]

Rules may change, but this is the way the software works, and FIRST cannot change that mid-season. It is stated in the reference guide that it is functional the same as last year, so unless this is a typo (it has been reworded since last year), you can be quite sure it is still available.

Prior to the game, the auton_mode is set to 0, but competition_mode is also set to 0, and there IS contact between the two. It is only once autonomous has begun that they no longer interact.
