I am a bit confused after reading the manual. For the start of the match, if a robot is in the goalie zone, can it have a ball? Also the manual said something along the lines of a robot in the goalie zone must stay in contact with the carpet in the goalie zone...does that mean if a robot starts in the goalie zone for auton, it cannot drive into it's colored zone for those 5 pts/

Any information will be helpful and appreciated.

Hope that helps.
