Heheh, it sounded funny to be saying, too. But still, it's more of an "isn't part of the robot, except when it is." under the current rulings, then the only exception is loading.

I feel an appropriate way to cover it all is that a tetra loaded on a bot (either by human loading, auto loading, or pickup on the field) is considered part of the robot when determining if the bot is in contact with something (specifically a loader or the field) because the bot is in control of the tetra, and the tetra may under certain conditions may support the bot. This doesn't seem to be true, though, as accordng to Dave, a robot may rest on a tetra outside of the end line, and still earn the 10 point bonus.
