Re: How big is the Loading Zone?

Well it all depends. Direct defence of the loading zones is a risky manuever. If you hit your opponent while he is in the process of loading in the loading zone, thats a 30pt penalty, and a possible DQ if you endanger a human(player or field attendant). So youd have to be careful, especially if they manage to slip around of you and even partially into the zone. In order to reduce the risk of slipping up would to double-team the robot attmepting to load, which leaves your 3rd robot double-teamed in any maneuvers it attempts, or at least trying to outscore 2 robots on his own. Also, if your opponent can use the 2 automated zones, that means there are 4 loading zones, vs. your 3 robots that could defend. So, because of the extreme difficulty in defending the zones, I dont think that it will be incredibly hard in most matches to receive tetras. Once you get the tetras on the other hand will be a different story...
