Thumbs up Re: Spy bot auton?

IMO: Unless an update comes out, it's legal.

Sometimes the most important part of the rule book is what isn't listed.

The only restriction I can see about the SpyBot is that it must be touching the Castle Wall and Guardrail, and in starting config when the match starts. As soon as auton starts the robot no longer has to be confined to the corner.

I concur.

The spybot starts in your opponents courtyard. Hence why it is called a spy.
