They commonly don't open the site for a couple days, so as to avoid posting of stupid questions that can be answered with a second read of the manual. Not that this thread is stupid - I'm sure there will be plenty of clarifications on the scoring zones, the ladder 0-1-2-3 rule, etc.

What about grabbing the corner post above the 30" bar? I think our robot would be in 0, 1, and 2 (i.e. on the ground, clearly in zone 1, and claw in zone 2).

Would this be illegal?
Problems. You've got 2 possibilities here:
1. Touching zone 0 (floor) and zone 2 (corner bar above the 30" bar) but not touching zone 1 - illegal because you skipped a zone.
2. Touching all 3 (0, 1 and 2) - illegal because you can only touch 2 zones at a time.
