If I summarize this correctly:

a) The human player can grab a tetra off of his/her stack in the human player zone and hold it during the time period between the autonomous and manual parts of the game

b) According to rule <G13>, the human player may only deliver ONE tetra to the robot at a time. Namely he/she can't pick up the whole stack and deliver it to the robot (assuming the person can hold/carry the stack and/or the robot can hold/carry the stack).

c) The robot MUST be inside the loading zone before the human player steps off the pad; otherwise the robot becomes disabled outside the loading area and cannot be loaded even by reaching and gets a still 10-point penalty (ref rule <G13>)

d) Rule <G14> also stipulates that the field attendants who attend to the auto-load stations will ONLY load ONE tetra at a time onto the loader.

e) If a robot is "greedy" and can carry more than one tetra, the robot MUST fully exit the loading station and then re-enter the loading station to receive/grab another tetra; per rule <G17>.
