I wonder how they will judge that, since it states a DQ for impeding the "trade-off between HP and robot"... so does that mean you might only get 30pt deduction if the HP didn't get there yet (not yet handing off tetra), or a DQ-30 no matter what, if you interfere at any time on the HP side?

I'd almost rather see the same penalty for both sides, for interference any time in load zone, being DQ - 30pts.... just for consistency sake. But at least it seems like the number and variance of penalties has been reduced this year.
In many a situation, 30pts isnt much better than a DQ anyway....
but still, i wouldnt run the risk anyway, even if your up by more than 30 and they might steal a row and somehow come out with a win or something, to risky.
Also, if it hits, or comes dangerously close to hitting, the field attendant, DQ as well, as they might not be completly out of the area by the time the robot goes for the next tetra.
