To have the HP load a robot that is not being bashed by another to prevent them loading the safety factor is huge. Just think, even with the existing rules HP's can get hurt by flying pieces from robots being hit and parts breaking. Put in a no touch loading zone. This will increase on field action with more robots being loaded and fix the safety issue. Remove safety zone for HP's but retain the no reach over field barrier.

We had that before, in 2005. It was one of the most hated FRC rules ever, with just as many penalties generated if not more as G40 today.
