You get FIVE functions to work with. Buttons 1,2,3,4, as well as what to do if no button is pushed.
Which to me, you could have something like
No Action: Run laps around the track, dead reckoning, using sensors, however you like.
Button 1: Get trackball from position 1
Button 2: get trackball from position 2
Button 3: get trackball from position 3
and Button 4: go to other side of track, and wait for one of buttons 1,2,or 3
and thats all you really need, and as such I suspect we're going to see ALOT of veteran teams known for good autonomous modes to have a setup much like this.

That is the way that I read it also. Of course, for any sort of an official interpretation, you would need to pose the question to the official FIRST Q&A System (my mantra for the year: "NONE of the answers you get outside the official Q&A System have any authority or certification, and will not be considered by the referees"). But your interpretation seems to be reasonable.
