I have to disagree with you on this one, Eric, if I'm understanding 1075guy's post correctly. There is no rule to say that the robot can't start acting at the beginning of the match without a signal from the Robocoach (obviously, since this would disallow full autonomy). If the Robocoach pushes a button, then it will do something different. It will do the same thing every time you push that button, regardless of when you push it. This satisfies the requirements as I understand them. As such, in some sense you can think of this as five actions: a default, and a response to each button. I suspect that many teams will have "do nothing" as their default action, but I also imagine that there will be a number of teams who will start moving at the beginning of the match before the Robocoach presses a button, and they will do so legally.
