Re: 3/10 UPDATE 15!

I have to say I disagree with the addition to G15:

Quote:
The process of receiving/retrieving a TETRA is completed when the robot leaves the LOADING ZONE.
This means that a robot can grab a tetra from a loading zone, move all but one wheel off of the zone, and cap (since a robot with a moderately sized arm is now within capping distance), and there is nothing the opposing alliance can do to stop them. Personally, I feel that if a robot is in the manual loading station, and the human player is back on the pad (i.e. the robot is enabled), the robot is done receiving a TETRA. Simularly, at the auto loading station, once a robot is "in possession" of a tetra, they are done loading (in possession would be defined the same way it is in football, a robot must be holding or otherwise in control of the tetra),
