Slightly incorrect here, <G08> says they have to be on the pad for the robot to run, but it does not say that they have to stay on the pad, only that the robot won't run if you step off. It seems to be just like the way it works during the regular gameplay.

The rule (<G06>) specifically says they can't leave the HUMAN PLAYER ZONE. The HUMAN PLAYER ZONE is defined as: "The designated area at the side of the field between the pressure pad sensors and the LOADING ZONES, where the HUMAN PLAYERS may move while loading TETRAS onto ROBOTS."

So it seems like an HP could step off the pad if it needed to stop the robot for some odd reason (say, if like previously mentioned, your robot was going for the same vision tetra a partner was). However, Dez is correct in that stepping off the pad stops the robot completely, and therefore can't be used to switch modes/strategies.
