Answered: Changing your robot mechanisms during autononmous mode

[xwon3]

During autonomous, you are allowed to handle your robot during the autonomous mode

<SG5> During the Autonomous Period, Drivers and Coaches may handle their own Robot while the
Robot is in contact with their own Alliance Starting Tile.

But there is a rule that states that

<G10> Robots may not intentionally detach parts during any Match, or leave mechanisms on the field. If
an intentionally detached component or mechanism affects game play the team shall be Disqualified at
the referee’s discretion. Multiple intentional infractions may result in Disqualification for the entire
competition.

However, this rule only says that the robot can’t intentionally detach parts during the match. However, is it legal if a member of the drive team to alter the robot during autonomous mode, by taking part of the robot off and putting another part of the robot on?
