IR Versitality Question

[Sam N.]

how versatile can a command be before it is considered more than one command? Can I make 16 different commands and have a series of buttons tell the robot which one to use? Can I use toggle commands to make a stop start feature? how much leeway do I have before I am breaking the 4 commands rule?

Thanks for the help,
Sam

There has been discussion of this already. I'll see if I can find the thread for you. (Search is in the orange bar at the top of the page.)

I apologize for not being able to cite the specific rule (its in another thread) but one explicitly says that using two buttons (actual wording "multiple inputs i.e. pushing two buttons at the same time") is NOT allowed. The rules also say <G49> that the robot can only preform four "actions". While the definition of "action" is debatable, for me it means the robot does one thing when that button is pushed (i.e. raise a lift, turn left, etc.) not doing lots of things in sequence (like drive in a circle and then raise a lift)

I didn't search for the word "robocoach." I apologize
