The tetras on the ALZs are considered on the field per <S 02> Italics added for emphasis.

If the infraction occurs during the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD, the ROBOT will be disabled for the remainder of the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD. For this purpose, the tetra loading structure is considered part of the playing field and may be contacted by the ROBOT.
