Given Tetra Loading Rules At Regionals?

Our robot has the ability to cap with the given tetra during auto, however the tetra must be loaded so that it passes under the arm, and then the arm must be lowered down in order to fit in the box. This CAN be done by hand although it is very difficult (involves moving a sprocket by hand deep in the robot.) We perfer to do this using the tether, and I worked out a system with the head ref at UTC that we were allowed to snag a tetra off the human loader stacks at the very end of the round before us, and quickly load it before moving the robots onto the field.

My question is if anyone has also encountered this problem, and if so, what were the rules for it at your regional?
