So, the robot meets the human player in the non-autonomous mode. Then..
--how do the human player switches operate with respect to the robot?

I do not understand the purpose of the colored tetras on the floor-are you saying that they are zones for receiving tetras--receiving from humans?

Thanks for your reply.
