Re: How many RoboCoach Commands?

OK, I agree with you. But here's how I can exploit this to gain an extra command:
Program 5 time slots into the 15-second hybrid mode. Within each 3-second time slot, a command must be received for the robot to do something. So a potential history of these time slots might look like this:

Time / Command
00:00 / 1
00:03 / 2
00:06 / 4
00:09 / 3
00:12 / 2

But what if I wanted to add an additional command to the system and remain below the refs' radar?

Time / Command
00:00 / 1
00:03 / No command sent
00:06 / 4
00:09 / 3
00:12 / 2

You could program the "No command sent" command to do anything, not just revert to previous behavior. Perhaps "No command sent" means "turn left." How many commands do I really have now?
