I think you mean G06.

If the ROBOT is in contact with any carpet outside its AUTO ZONE, the ROBOT may preload up to three (3) DISCS.
Otherwise, the ROBOT may preload up to two (2) DISCS.

Violation: If the situation is not corrected before the start of the MATCH, TECHNICAL FOUL per extra preloaded DISC in or on the ROBOT.
As my interpretation, contact is defined as "some part of your robot touching", thus, if a part of your robot is behind the Auto line at the back of the Pyramid AND you're touching the Pyramid, you can receive 3 DISCS. There is no line that states you must be fully supported behind the line. For a definitive answer, I suggest you submit this question to the GDC Q&A.
