Re: Robocoach signals loophole?

It's perfectly legal to have an autonomous routine execute when you aren't pressing any buttons down. So, for example, your commands could be "Go forward/back/left/right while this button is pressed", and your default autonomous routine could be "stop".

See this forum post for details:

SgtMillhouse648, the CMUCam itself is allowed, but the CMUCAM module given out in previous years is a custom part made specifically for those FIRST competitions. It may not be used. You'd have to get the unmodified CMUCam and mount it on your own.
