Re: rule 3.2.2.1 G4 Clarification

Seems almost everyone agrees that this was a poorly worded update, including me. I don't think changing "precedence" to "priority" will help much, since it still means "going first" (Merriam Webster says "something that is more important than other things and that needs to be done or dealt with first" - emphasis mine).

Maybe in the next clarification, they could say something like, "TEAMS positioning ROBOTS in the white ZONE may move their robots after opponents placing ROBOTS in the GOALIE ZONE." Maybe add something about it being at the referee's discretion.
