I'm not sure where I saw it but I am 100% sure I read somewhere that if asked you would have to show the inspector or a ref or a judge your hybrid controls and which button does what
a few rules about this subject:
<R65> Emphasis mine
Quote:
communicate no more than four messages, states or conditions to the ROBOT (please refer to Rule <R69> and Rule <G01> for additional information) during any single
MATCH.

no more than 4 states I would say that having a button that changes states would count as two of your four messages
<R65> Emphasis mine
Quote:
|
be able to switch between no more than four states or conditions (i.e. send no more than four messages)
|
pretty much the same thing just said again later in the rule
Team update #3 Emphasis mine
Quote:

For example, consider a programmed sequence of actions such as “start driving forward,” “stop in place,” “turn left,” “raise arm,” “open gripper,” “close gripper,” etc. Each time Button #8 is pressed, the Robot advances one step through the sequence of actions. This would not be allowed.

Start and Stop would be steps and advancing steps is not allowed
Also keep in mind (can't find the quote in the rules for some reason) you must have a 3x5 notecard with all functions of your robocoach remote written on it.
I hope I helped
