Clarification of IR Commands

[FRC1777]

Can the functions of the robocoach be used to set software states rather than specific robot movements. For example: Can IR command #1 set one register on the robot's controler and then a second IR command set the status of register two on the controller?

Then based on these register's settings, the robot would perform certain functions.

In other words, can the registers 10 do routine A, and register 01 do routine B, and register 11 do routine C.

Only four commands would be set to the robot, but they would set registers not directly initiate robotic actions.

This would depend on how the software system used the registers. If there was a one-to-one mapping between the transmitted functions/register settings and the resulting commands/actions, then it would satisfy the signaling requirements. But if the register settings were used to provide higher-order encoding to enable a larger potential command set (such as by using the four registers to represent four bits, which could provide a binary encoding of 16 potential commands), then that would be prohibited.
