control system. The only external signals that may be received by the ROBOT are those
sent from ALLIANCE ROBOCOACHES. No external signals are permitted from any other
source. The ROBOT may react to no more than four distinct external commands provided by
the ROBOCOACH. All ROBOT safety rules are still applicable during the HYBRID PERIOD.
The HYBRID PERIOD ends when the arena timer displays zero seconds left in the period.


It looks to me that this means your entire alliance can send commands to your robot Think of the possibility if theres 12 commands
I am thinking how much time would you have to program each of the remotes to your robots? Once we start playing with the IR and programming it, we can see how easy it can be programmed.
