Definition of a Container Set

Hey, I was wondering what the exact definition of a container set is in this year's game. Moreover, I want to know whether based on the rules, containers taken from off the STEP during the autonomous period count towards the container set. The competition manual defines the container set as "an AUTONOMOUS scoring option consisting of three (3) RECYCLING CONTAINERS that are fully contained by the AUTO ZONE at the end of the AUTO period" (Section 6), while team update clarify that only a single container set can be counted, however neither of these explain whether or not containers from the STEP count. The game summary states that robot alliances will take "their" containers to the center, which is rather vague, but indicates that the intention is for containers to be brought into the autonomous zone from the staging zone, but will containers from the STEP also be counted? Thanks in advance!
