At a recent event, a team was activating arm movements during the Autonomous Period by manually opening a pneumatic valve on the Robot while the Robot was in a legal position for interaction, as specified by <SG4>.
Considering the following clause in <SG4>:
Drivers or Coaches also may not change the configuration of the Robot in any way other than in the act of fixing the Robot (i.e. it is okay to reposition the robot relative to the field, but it is not okay to manually lift up the Robot’s arm, unless you are in the act of a repair). Any changes to the Robot’s configuration performed during the act of repair must be reversed before the Robot can leave the Alliance Starting Tile.
Would this be a legal type of interaction?

No, this is not legal. The type of interaction is a clear change of the Robot’s configuration, thus illegal as per <SG4>.
