Re: Australia is coming! 4613 robot release

I notice that in your autonomous routine you start with the first yellow tote lifted in the air (above where it normally rests and in it's set location) in your robot's "tote pan". I looked through the game manual and Q&A and was not able to find any explicit rules about the auto game pieces (yellow totes and containers) being supported by a robot, only that robots could not be supported by the game pieces (through robots are able to contact the game pieces).
Because it seems as though your 3 tote-3 bin auto requires this tote to be possessed by the robot and off the ground, are you confident that it is allowed by the rules?
I may just be missing a rule or Q&A, but it seems to be a grey area in the rules for auto placement.

By the way, incredible robot! I love how versatile and consistent it is.
