Robojacks4674 is an unknown quantity at this point
Can the Pilot do anything during autonomous?

I'm actually curious, since the following pieces of information are contradictory...

Quote:
4.1 [Periods]


...The first period, called AUTO, is the first fifteen (15) seconds of
a MATCH in which ROBOTS operate without any DRIVE TEAM control or input.

Quote:


This shows that the pilot IS indeed, technically a member of the drive team.



Quote:


"To start ROTOR 1, the PILOT places the GEAR..."
This clarifies that to start a rotor, the pilot must place the gear (such information was gathered in Figure 3-12)


Quote:

This, combined with the other presented information, shows that, in order to get the additional 20 points for a rotor to spin, the pilot must place a gear, therefore, a member of the drive team is technically interacting with field elements during autonomous.
