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>.

I'll add another comment to your list... I believe the HP must be standing in the triangle for the loading zone.. So the HP cannot be anywhere within the big HP box to load a tetra - there is a specified triangle area where the HP must stand in order to place a tetra on the robot.
I think there was a question somewhere else regarding this, so thought I'd add it here.
