What I am asking exactly is: Does autonomous mean it is not being controlled by the human (communication) or it is completely independent of the HOSTBOT's movements.
I remember seeing in the demonstration after the game animation (in the live feed yesterday) robots pushing the minibot to the tower. Obviously, the minibot is still dependent of the hostbot after deployment (it still needs to be pushed to reach the tower), but I am wondering if the robot can give a little push to get the minibot started on its race.

I am very confused, so what I'm saying might be confusing. If you need any kind of clarification, just let me know!
Same type of question. This was very very confusing to our team.
