Drivers Position during Autonomous

[Drift]

Is a driver required to remain in the Driver’s Station the entire autonomous match? During autonomous we utilize a driver on each side of the field who help with resetting the robot in the starting position. At a recent tournament the announcer would tell a driver to return to the Driver’s Station, and that one driver must remain there. I don’t remember seeing that in the game manual.

<G5>** During a Match, the Drivers must remain in their Driver Station, except when legally interacting with their Robot.** Drivers also may not use any communication devices (e.g. radios) during the Match.

So a Driver may leave the Driver Station to retrieve the Robot, but must return immediately after this interaction ends.
