I have checked the official rules and find no mention of the tetra being an extension of the robot. The only place it is mentioned is in the Q&A which is wrong about 10% of the time and changes from day to day. No team is expected to read all of the Q&As and decifer what they mean.

Even the rules go against each other. Take for example G15 where it states that a robot is in the process of loading until it leaves the loading zone. When looking at example 6 it says "Robot "RED01" is in the red alliance loading zone, is already loaded with a tetra, and is waiting for a path to clear to the center goal before moving in to the rest of the field. Robot "BLUE01" approaches the loading zone, and blocks RED01’s attempts to leave the loading zone and score on the center goal. The robots come into contact several times while BLUE01 blocks RED01. No penalty is assessed to either alliance, provided BLUE01 acts within the limitations of <G21> that prohibit pinning for more than 10 seconds. RED01 is not retrieving a tetra, so no violation of <G15> has occurred."
