What occurs in Local Mode when an external signal is needed to initiate the robot?

In Local Mode, a robot's operation is typically set to respond to signals from its immediate environment or control system. When an external signal is required to initiate the robot's movement or operation, the robot essentially relies on that signal to start any programmed action.

When an external signal is needed and the robot is in Local Mode, the robot will not operate independently or begin its tasks until it receives that specific signal. Therefore, saying that the robot cannot start highlights the critical dependency on the external input for its operation in this mode. This dependence ensures that the robot remains in a waiting state, ready to receive instructions from external sources before proceeding.

In Local Mode, the ability to function based on internal signals isn't utilized since the mode is designed to interact with the environment in a specific manner. Also, the idea of enabling conditions or starting from an internal signal does not align with the nature of Local Mode, which emphasizes external signaling for operation.
