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."

I also noticed this - I wonder how they enforce this... I may post a Q/A (did post) asking which is really valid, if nobody else has... Guess it makes it easier for refs to call just by calling a penalty if you touch a robot while they're in the Loading Zone.. but they should remove/update the examples that discuss the situations above.

My point exactly.... it was the one he just put on, without the robot ever moving, and I think without the HP ever going back to his pad.
