Re: How many RoboCoach Commands?

So what I'm seeing is action "E" occurs after any of A, B, C, or D. E is just simply an extension to the other four. In other words the E property is contained inside of the A,B,C,D.

Think of it this way. If you have multiple programs you can choose several ways to implement things.

abort - pressing A then B. B aborts A and executes B.
example. A = go forward, B = stop

interrupt - pressing A then B. B interrupts A and executes and the returns which lets A resume it's task.
example. A = make tea, B = make coffee, when done go back to making tea

queue - pressing A then B. A is executed completely, then B
example, A = make tea, B = then make coffee

What I think is clearly forbidden and against the spirit of the rules is this:
If you telegraphed within a short interval say:

AAA - program #1
AAB - program #2
ABC - program #3
ABD - program #4
ABA - program #5
DBA - program #6
DAD - program #7

and the list go's on and on, etc

"It is left as an exercise to the student to determine the number of permutations."
