Re: Robocoach signals loophole?

but what if your button setup was something like this...

button 0 : toggle bit 0 high or low
button 1: toggle bit 1 high or low

and so on, which would allow for 2^4 - 1 combinations of events.

technically, i don't think that is actually encoding a message from the remote, nor is it dynamically changing the rule set.
but still, i think it is probably illegal... and probably dumb idea considering that the robocoach would get confused very easily.

Dave's advice from the kickoff of having the control do something extremely high level is really good advice... i think (keyword...) we are pursuing a completely autonomous robot that can be 'nudged' by the robocoach.
