Re: FIRST FRC Q&A

Answer highlights based on my recollection:

1. Pilots can use the lift to remove gears from the robot during auto.
2. The robot can use the removal of the gear as a control input. That is not indirect interaction under A02.
3. Ropes do not need to be removed from robots when robots are removed from the field.
4. The overflow refill station gear slot is there just so all the chutes are the same, not because GDC expects gears to be introduced there. There's an open question regarding if that is allowed in the event a gear is misplaced by a team in the loading lane.
