No, once the robots are in place and the FMS selects the trackball position, no adjustments of the robot or operator controls are allowed. See Update #8

Rule <G20>
TRACKBALL Locations - After all ROBOTS participating in the MATCH are in their starting positions and the TEAM members are behind the Players Line in the ALLIANCE ZONE and/or ROBOCOACH STATIONS, four TRACKBALLS will be placed on the OVERPASS. On each side of the OVERPASS there are three TARGET LOCATIONS for TRACKBALLS. The field management system will randomly choose an initial starting location for the TRACKBALLS before the start of each MATCH. One red and one blue TRACKBALL will then be positioned in the chosen TARGET LOCATIONS on each side of the OVERPASS. After this point in time no ROBOT or OPERATOR CONSOLE may be adjusted or repositioned until the MATCH starts.
