Does the manual describe that being "in the loading zone" means?
I suppose it does because there are so many rules about not interfering witha robot when it is in the loading zone.
Can anyone point me at an answer to when one is in the loading zone? (sorry if this is a dumb question....I might have missed the obvious definition in the rules)

Q: Regarding <G17>: What are the parameters for being "in" a loading zone? (i.e., must some part of the robot be touching the yellow triangle, et cetera)
A: There are no yellow triangles in the loading zones.
The robot base and / or drive train must be touching the loading zone. The intent of this rule is that you must be in the loading zone. By making it blatantly obvious that you are in the loading zone, you will draw far less attention from the referees. "
