Lightbulb Using pressure pad to control during Autonomous

While reading the rules I came up something that is not covered in the rules. Can the human player use the pressure pad the send commands to the robot in autonomous mode?

A simple example of this might be: if two robots are going for the same vision tetra and the human player steps off the pressure pad to prevent the collision. This seams like it should be allowed.

But what about this: in the program the robot performs Strategy A if the human player is on the pad when the robot is enabled but performs Strategy B if the human player steps on the pad after the robot is enabled.

Just something to think about
