Re: Multiple IR Key codes to activate four hybrid operating modes

• The ROBOT shall not dynamically change the recognized command set during a MATCH.
I was under the impression that this rule was to keep people from choosing which 4 signals to recognize after the match had already started, not it couldn't change it's reaction based on it. So if I were commanding my arm to a specific angle during autonomous it wouldn't be illegal for that to move the arm up sometimes and not others I don't think. But what if I had a + button a - button and 2 toggle mode buttons. The two buttons ALWAYS toggle the mode, the + and the - always effect the mode in the + or - direction... It's really hard to interpret such a rule if you read it as "your robot can only react in 4 different ways to inputs", which is why I think that really can't be.

My 2 cents
