You were implying that you hadn't read the manual. I realize that not everybody memorizes it every year--I don't, I go for the general gist and where to find stuff quickly, and on the field I use a cheat sheet--but after watching 3 weeks of regionals and spending 6 weeks building the robot, something along the lines of "how do you not know that" (even without the previously-mentioned manual reading) might actually be appropriate. "Ask a stupid question..." and all that. When a drive team member asked me if yellow totes counted on the scoring platforms (during a practice day), and then admitted to not having read the manual...Well, I did answer the question, but I also gave him one of those looks that is supposed to mean "I can't believe my ears" or something along those lines.



To actually answer the question: If they place it there pre-match, it gets moved back to wherever it came from before the match starts. So they have to grab it mid-match.
