I would have called that a G3 violation - "DRIVE TEAMS may not climb over or step on game elements"

I had a discussion with a Head Ref about centering RC's on the Step. My thought was that, as long as it is on the step, it should be played where is placed (bots have to be designed for the tolerance of the step width). He felt a reasonable amount of centering is a reasonable accommodation (avoid giving one side an advantage).
Since teams are allowed to move RC/Totes when placing their robot, I didn't care how much they moved them as long as they ended up back in the proper position (and within the 60 second robot placement limit). There were a few instances where the Tote ended up on a line, and we told the team they had to move the robot so the Tote was off the line.
