In this example, you are technically sending information by not pressing a button within a time period. Would this count as a command?

If Press "1" says "go forward for three seconds" that is an command that execute a preprogrammed sequence. Like "go explore that rock".
Not pressing "1" within 3 seconds is not sending a command. The bot is simply playing out it's program.
Pressing "1" again before the 3 seconds to restart the timer could be considered
1) reissuing the command (so you are patting the "watchdog)
2) or a new type of command (extended period)
