This makes sense to me, after all, there has to be some allowance for good ol' autonomous programming to come into play. The default is just autonomus programming, is't it? It isn't another signal, so it is perfectly legit.
I don't think that you necessarily need to "revert back to default" for every command to make it legal. You may make it a part of your strategy, but it doesn't make it any more legal.
About arm toggling - I know lots have already commented on it - you'll probably have to Q+A that. From a software standpoint, you could easily make a toggle function that does the same thing every time, but I think that the referees may decide the legitimacy based on the black box approach - where they judge based on the actions of the robot, regardless of how it is programmed. I don't blame them, it is by far the most objective way to do it and doesn't require inside knowledge of the bot.
I'd suggest that you either Q+A it or hope that you can do it, but prepare in case you can't.
