71 could probably use the autoloader if they just wanted to grab one tetra, but they don't. They use the human loaders and usually put four on before going out to score. It's incredibly hard to knock tetras off of them, but it has been done. They have a lip in the front of the robot or something that stops tetras from falling off if they're hit from behind. And on the sides they have their stablizers. Many teams try to just knock their tetras off by hitting the tetras with their arms. Many times robots would get hooked onto their tetras, which would make 71 unable to lift them from thier robot.
