Re: Start timing and details
Sorry, Adam Richards, but you're wrong on a couple of things.
1. The robot controls are enabled. The robot outputs are disabled, but the program receives input from the OI up until autonomous mode is activated.
2. Teams carry their robots onto the field, typically setting them in place and applying power as the driver and/or operator sets the controls on the alliance station shelf. I don't know of any teams that drive to the field; most if not all have a cart.
3. I don't think the refs can cause a reset, though they can certainly disable a robot. The "robot reset" button on the OI will reset the robot if you want. You can't do a reset via the programming port in any case.
4. Usually a robot is powered off until it's brought onto the field. You may do a reset at any time before you leave it there prior to the match beginning.
