In the movie you see us about 3 feet out when picking up the tetra off the loader. This is close, but to get a wheel on the loading zone triangle, we'll need to get a bit closer. So we will have to telescope our arm and pick the tetra up from above which is something we have done but didn't practice much. Who know's, it may improve our time a little, since we telescope anyways when capping.
