The team may run a program before the countdown starts as long as the robot does not move as you have described.

Good Evening!

I apologize if this question has already been asked, but we have a quick question about setup of the robot in the home area.

Our team is utilizing a LEGO Spike Prime robot, and has written a program which will step through a series of steps, each one requiring the technician to press a button to start the next step.  My question is - can they start the program before the timer starts?  Starting the program does not result in any movement, that does not occur till the next button is pushed to start the first "step".

Thank You!
Scott
