From rule S08 - HPs may only pass tetras to their team's robot when the robot is in the loading zone and disabled. HPs are not allowed to pass tetras to or interact with, robots of another team, even if on same alliance. Violations will result in disabling of HP's robot, and receiving team's robot...
So only my HP can pass a tetra to my robot. So there will be major coordination among HPs and robots, realizing who is where.
However, to really answer the question, if you're asking if your robot can take a tetra from another robot on the field, I would say yes. It's like picking it off the floor, or stealing it from an opponent.

another thing, can one team go over to the opposing team and take their tetra preventing them from getting points?

I don't think I've seen a rule against it - if it's on the floor, or in their robot grip. But you cannot unstack it from the top. You can manipulate any scoring tetra you want.

You could probably take a tetra away from another robot or block another robot from obtaining the tetra. That, in my book, is just defense.

Depends on the definition of blocking. From rule G15 -
You CANNOT block a robot from receiving a tetra if that robot is inside the loading zone already. You cannot put an arm, or anything to prevent that robot from getting it.
But I would imagine you could block the robot BEFORE it gets into the load zone. But if any part of their robot is inside that loading zone, you cannot block them. 30pt penalty for that.
I think it will be tough to see across the field to see if an opponent has any part of him inside their load zone, but if you bump them or something *accidentally*, it probably wouldn't be bad. It's the intentional blocking (which you'd think would look obvious) them from recieving a tetra or trying to pull them out of their load zone that would be bad.

What about removing your own tetras? Is that legal?

No, as the rule stated earlier, you cannot remove a tetra from the top of a goal. You can move whatever you want around that's inside (under) the goal.
