Re: How many RoboCoach Commands?
I think that the Robocoach can only make the robot do 4 things during a match. As for the changing from hybrid to tele - the second bullet of <R69> specifically disallows that.

• The ROBOT shall not dynamically change the recognized command set during a MATCH.

As far as combining commands to create more combinations the last bullet of <R65> explicitly disallows that

• not use changes in the signal states to encode or transmit larger messages (e.g. Morse
code)

We were of course also thinking about techniques to increase the number of commands and it has become clear that there can only be the 4 that are on the card posted on the Robocoach station.

Good luck,

Greg
