A satellite robot is legal as long as it is under RCX/NXT control. It would not be legal to make a satellite that was controlled by a human back at the base (see Q3.9). After the robot is started, no human intervention is allowed without terminating the mission attempt. Of course the satellite is subject to all the same rules as the primary robot as long as they stay connected. Notice that it would be legal to retrieve the satellite by having a human pull it in on its tether if the robot was in the base! This would terminate the mission but you would not be subject to a robot return penalty. The reason that this is legal is that part of the robot is in base. Just remember that retrieval objects must return to base under their own power.
