Go through the Q&A system and check yesterdays Answers. FIRST is allowing teams to use things like zipties to hang down to the floor and contact the loading zone triangle. String is always a concern for entanglement...
What first is trying to do is create a black (touching the loading zone triangle) and white (not touching the triangle) situation. How many games have been plagued by rules in the "GRAY" area.
Im sure any team that stradles the triangle as much as your picture will not even get a glance from a ref. They stated in the rules that your robot must make it very obvious(ie. by being right on top of it) you are in the loading zone before getting a tetra.
