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),
I understand what you are saying ... but it is a trade-off. In order to watch/see everything going on in this game it will require AT LEAST 12 referees (48 for the Championship). I doubt any regional will be able to field a team of 12 refs. This change takes a bit of the burden off of the refs as it is now clearly defined, and much easier to determine, exactly when the "interference" violation <G15> would be applicable.
