999: RSC7 Can drivers move freely around the field during driver skills match?

Hello,

In RSC7, it states that "During a Programming Skills Match, Drivers may move freely around the Field". We are wondering if teams can also move freely around the field during a Driver Skills match or at least switch between driving stations? Sometimes it is hard to see the other side of the field when only staying in one driving station.

No, this would not be legal. The full text of RSC7 includes the following note, which applies specifically to this question:

Note: This rule only applies to Programming Skills Matches. Driving Skills Matches are still governed by <G18>, especially for strategic violations.
