Re: Team update 8 now out.

What am I missing here? The loading zone is NOT clearly identified, yet you might get penalized if you aren't in it while attempting to load a tetra.
What does blatantly obvious mean, when the loading zone is not clearly identified? It is clear to me that the triangles don't define the loading zone, but what does? Wouldn't it be easier on everyone if the Loading zone were clearly outlined using white duct tape. Please indicate the area that the robot base or drive train must be in before the robot can touch an auto loader, otherwise it comes down to a judgement call by the referee as to the location of the robots wheels at the moment the loader is touched. In some cases (robots with very long arms) it will be obvious. On the shorter armed robots it won't be as easy to tell, because the referee cannot be looking at 2 things at the same time.
