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.

Please read Section 4 of the manual. In particular look at the definitions section, and the entry for "Loading Zone." Please refer to the artwork on the first page of Section 4, with the big arrows that say "Loading Zones" by them.
The loading zones are quite clearly identified. Question #978 makes it clear what the referees will be looking for when they check to see if you are "in" the loading zone.
