[Hoover]

We plan on having our robot straddling a yellow tote at the beginning of the match. There is not an actual rule but clarification under Figure 3-7 in the rules. The robot can touch them, but we (the setup guys) cannot not move the containers (out of their starting rectangle I reckon) from where they were placed at the beginning of the match.

DRIVE TEAMS may not move, nor preload TOTES (regardless of color), RECYCLING CONTAINERS, or LITTER onto their ROBOT prior to the start of the
MATCH per G13. There are no rules that prohibit a ROBOT from being in contact with TOTES or RECYCLING CONTAINERS at the start of the MATCH, as
long as those items were not moved from their STAGING ZONE as described in the paragraph above.
