Yes, sorry. But honestly, I think they're very similar. How about we treat it as, say, choose to have them on, in, or near the robot? This puts contain aside. i think the field crew would just ask before they gave you the balls, so the question could, feasibly, end up a moot point.

Unfortunately it's not up to our interpretation. This particular "fully supported" definition helps determine where within our ball manipulation system we can start, dictating our cycle time, code, and even exact shooter specifications (in an attempt to reduce cycle time).

Presumably you would do so to let your alliance partner pick it up to score. So G01 permits you to preload your two balls, but does not require it.

I suspect it'll be the "Double Ubertube" of this year. A non-scoring team puts 1-2 of their balls on the Bridge and lets a Bridge Tipper snag it (after unloading their own pre-loads) to score. This may well be easier than orchestrating a floor pickup, though also potentially more risky. |
