Correct, you back away and come back, but the human player doesn't need to do anything. Just remember, this is a *human* field attendant we are talking about and, for safety reasons, your robot better not look like it's coming back to the trough too fast or dangerously, or there won't be another tetra there yet.
<G14> Field attendants will place TETRAS on the Tetra Loading Stations on the side of the field opposite the
HUMAN PLAYERS (ie. the “automated” LOADING ZONE). At any time, a ROBOT may enter the
corresponding LOADING ZONE, retrieve the TETRA from the Loading Station, and enter it into play. The
HUMAN PLAYER does not have to leave the pressure pad sensor during this operation. When the TETRA
is removed from the Loading Station and the ROBOT has left the LOADING ZONE, the field attendant will
place a new TETRA on the Loading Station. Robots may not intentionally interfere with field attendant’s
efforts to place TETRAS on the Loading Stations.
