1) Robots are essentially off before the round starts so unless the robots "scanner" is not hooked up to the operation interface it will be off until the starting sound is played and the robots are awoken (i think it is illegal to have parts running before the start sound is played) As for being disabled during the match, that is the judges call and they have a E-stop button at their table

2) The control boards are essentially shut off from the time you hook them up till the time autonomous period is over so no touching them to activate something until driver controled time. Also drivers and operators must stand behind a line a few feet away from the controls until the end of autonomous period

3)Operations include all controls, basically i think it is meant that the control board is completely shut off until the human player returns to their mat (so no driving or arm operations or etc...)

4) Since autonomous is preprogramed, you can do just about anything you can program your robot to do during that time, the sky is the limit

I hope this helps
