The pictures are for illustrative purposes only and may not be completely detailed. The
purpose of this picture is to demonstrate the human player loading only.
Also see #978... the rule has been "touching" since 1/11/2005.
Using the baseball analogy,...
Imagine in baseball if the runner just had to be over the base to be safe?

I have to admit i am a bit disappointed, but i think that by allowing us to use zipties, string e.t.c to make our robot touch the HDPE triangle, FIRST has made it easier for the teams who were previously confused. I can understand their point of view, and of many, that the 3D space analogy might create problems. I am not going to let this ruin mine or my team's excitement, spirit and commitment. We are engineers here, its our job to overcome challenges. So lets just ride the tide, and have another great, fun-filled year.
Cheers
