[OCCRA]: VEX starting position

[apalrd]

I read through the rules before posting this, and do not believe that the rules cover this:

-What exactly defines the starting position for the VEX robots? For the large robots it is defined as "At least one point touching the wall of the driver station", but the VEX robot rules are unclear other than the fact that there are colored tiles.

Are there any official requirements for the VEX robot starting position? The drawing indicates that the robots start on the colored tiles, but states no other requirements for starting position.

The VEX robots are placed on their colored tile, centered and touching (aligned - parallel) the back wall. This is how they were placed at the first event and will continue for the remainder of the competition to maintain consistency.
