How many RoboCoach Commands?

[Phalanx]

My thoughts are like this for the moment.....

Let's say you have 16 selectable autonomous/modes for your Robot. Each one of those modes uses only 4 commands, but the 4 commands mean different things depending on the selection setting.

In each round the ROBOCOACH would have a card that list each of the 4 commands used in that mode, or 16 cards of 4 commands each. So in theory you only have 4 commands for any given match, but up to 64 commands available to choose from or 16 command sets to choose from.

To me this seems completely doable and within the rules.

I do think that some clarification from the rules committee is needed.

As long as multiple automodes are permitted, this would be legal as long as you didn't change during the match.

Thank for all the answers. I think it is abvious that the FIRST rules do not want us to have more than four methods and four buttons, one for each button. Thankfully, our design only needs three, and one as an emergency stop.

As I said earlier, were just going to use the Operator Interface for buttons instead of the remote during TeleOperate.
