Re: get IN the zone

Make sure that whatever is touching the loading zone is obvious. We got a penalty in our first match even with zipties across the front of the bot. The ref said he didn't see them.

We decided to use the human loader and have our human player check to make sure we were on the plastic before loading the tetra. If we didn't have a wheel on the plastic the player ran back to the pressure pad and the driver adjusted the bot location. A 10 point penalty can easily decide a match.
