More Robocoach pedantry

[FRC1743]

All of the Robocoach rulings I have read seem to outlaw the notion of software state... the action conveyed by the press of a button should be independent of any previous button presses. However, the actions are allowed to be dependent on sensor readings. Is a hardware device solely intended to keep track of state (such as a servo coupled to a multi-position switch which feeds back to the RC) in order to address a larger set of commands in violation of the letter or spirit of any rules?

This would be a violation of the spirit, but not necessarily the letter, of the rules.
