Re: Robocoach signals loophole?

Glad I read this thread ... we were considering using the 4 commands for the first portion of the Hybrid mode, then changing states for the final seconds of the Hybrid mode so the 4 commands would perform something different.

After re-reading <R65> this appears to NOT be legal.

Then, reading <R69> it's confirmed to be a No No.

<R69> Reaction of the ROBOT to communications received from the SIGNALING DEVICE must meet all of the following criteria:
• For a single MATCH, the ROBOT shall be limited to react to a maximum of four distinct commands - either through hardware or software limitations, or a combination of the two.
• The ROBOT shall not dynamically change the recognized command set during a MATCH.
