Re: "Triple Play" Human Player Question

Amy, regarding your comment
Quote:
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.
1) The human player STARTS on his/her pressure pad and has a stack of tetras within reach.
2) The human player then EXITS the pressure pad, which disables the robot. Hopefully, the driver has placed the robot INSIDE the on-field triangular loading zone BEFORE the person steps off the mat.
3) The human player then runs over to the loading zone area, but that area is NOT marked on the floor of the human player area. The floor is ONLY marked for the robot inside the playing field. So, yes a human could lean/stretch diagonally over the railing to load-up a tetra. See rule <S06> and <S07> in chapter 4.3.2.

ps: don't touch the robot at all and don't be leaning over the rail at any other time other than loading (but that doesn't even make sense since the robot would be disabled if you were leaning...)
