• ✓ The ROBOT implementation must obviously follow a design approach intended to play FIRST STEAMWORKS (See photo)

You could also in theory train the dog to stop sitting when it hears the charge sound and sit when it hears a buzzer or a foghorn, so the FMS can have control over enabling/disabling.
