Prediction: After Looking at the Q&A's from today, I expect Update 13 to address this issue. No more of this "Load Baring Surface" Junk.

Q:Can the automatic loading zone triangle be made larger or inverted so the robots can pick up tetras easier? Many 10 pt penalties at the UTC scrimmage made for very low scores. Robot base dims and triangle dims should be similar.
A:The loading zone triangles will remain at 36" on a side, however, because of various scrimmage results this weekend, we will increase the human player loading box from 36" on a side to 48" on a side.

Q:Regarding the answer to ID 1617, do vertical "fingers" (skirt, wire ties, etc.) strategically placed around a base for the sole purpose of touching the loading zone HDPE "make" the robot in the loading zone.
A:Yes. After attending and receiving feedback from several scrimmages this past weekend (2/19), we will allow robot-base appendages that are within and remain within the 28" x 38" dimensions to contact the loading zone and be legal.
